Check out http://www.xbpadm-commands.com/download.htm , specifically the
drivewatch utility.

I have a slightly improved version which allows certain drives to be ignored
if they're used outside of Netbackup if that's handy in your situation.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] monitoring drive status


Does anyone have any ideas or pointers for getting alerts if their drives go
off line?   I would like to put in a simple job that will kick off a message
to a pager/cell phone if one or more of the 9840 tape drives in the 9740
library unit goes off line.

Ideally, I'd like a script in place that will see a drive is down, attempt
to get it back online, and then alert the on call personnel if the online
attempt was unsuccessful.
Is there a tool out there that does this in the 3.2 NB software already?  I
haven't found anything yet if there is.

Thanks

Respectfully Submitted,
