I run bpmedialist -summary, and redirect output to a file. Then use cat and
grep on the output file to get what I want to know.
For example:
bpmedialist -summary > media_report.txt
cat media_report.txt | grep UN | grep 2003 | grep "expires 07"
That tells me what UN pool tapes will expire in the month of July in year
2003. The expiration date for each tape will be displayed. The "grep UN"
works for us because we do tape label naming according to the different
pools that we use in creating our tapes.
You could build a script doing something similar.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] How to tell when all images on a tape will expire?
Let's say I have tape #123456. I want to know when all images on the tape
will expire and it will be scratched. Actually, I have about 2,000 tapes
and I want to run a report that says "these tapes will expire on these
days". We do not mix retention levels but there are many different pools
with different retention levels. No, the available_media script does not
give this information - it
does not address the future.
So...how can I determine that? Seems like a basic bit of management info.
bpimmedia will show me what images are on the tape and when the expire, but
parsing that out for 2,000 tapes and processing it (compare dates) is not
feasible. For one thing, I was hoping to run this report daily and
bpimmedia takes about 3 minutes per tape and there aren't 6,000 minutes in a
day ;)
