James:
vmquery will be your best bet.
Media count: vmquery -a -bx | tail +4 | wc -l
Media count in robots: vmquery -rn $robot_number -bx | tail +4|wc -l
For the last one...it will be rather difficult to be absolutely certain.
I always recommend that people use Volume Groups to track the location of
their media. Volume Groups serve no other purpose than to make our
administration much easier, if we use them.
if that's the case then you can use vmquery to do that too
vmquery -v $volumegroup -bx | tail +4 | wc -l
if not, then you have to figure out what method he/she used to track those
media in the first place.
If it was by Volume Pool, for example, then you can query by Volume Pool,
but Volume pools do not guarantee they are ALL in the same location.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Fw: Introduction and apology
Howdy!
My name is James, and I have been somewhat thrown into the task of
administering Veritas for Unix ver 3.2 on Solaris.
Due to corporate requirements, I must use Outhouse for my mail. For that I
apologize.
I am a Unix novice with a fair bit of Linux background. I'm managing to
struggle by through extensive use of the man pages and Google. ;-) I have
experience with Veritas, kind of. I had a Veritas Backup Exec for Windows
server at a previous position. So far, that experience has been good for
terminology, and nothing else.
I seek to learn, and gain proficiency, and shall pester you all for anything
I cannot find otherwise. What I will need is not the answers in detail, but
the proper leads to get my tasks done. I will figure out the details, and
learn a bit in the process. (Although I reserve the right to come crawling
back in defeat for further clues.)
My first task is to do a query against the media for a report. I wish to
script this and make it a cron job.
I need to generate and e-mail a report that consists of:
1) Total number of media.
2) Total number of media in the robots (We have 2)
3) Total number of media offsite. (I suspect a query based on pool name,
minus any in the robots. My predecessor was kind enough to include a key in
each pool that I can use. Perhaps make a list of all offsite classes by
class ID that I can save as a file that the query can check against?)
4) Total media stored onsite. (Total minus Robot minus Offsite?)
We have a total of three storage locations:. offsite, onsite, and robot.
My question: What commands are best for this? I thought that bpmedialist
would do it, but not successful yet on that. Will vmquery be better? Or am I
way off track?
