Huh - you're right. I wrote this utility on NB v4 and it was broken when
vmoprcmd became a piece of crap in v5. They fixed it in v6.0 and v6.5, its
seems.
As written, it's not seeing the activity from another media server. The
"vmoprcmd -xd ds" that's built into this script only displays activity by the
local media server.
Does somebody have a 5.0 output they can mail me? Try "vmprcmd -d ad" and
maybe that'll be useful. Also output from "vmoprcmd -d ds" might be helpful.
Maybe I can write a fix for v5.
I'll put out a new version for the fixed "vmoprcmd" output in v6 and republish
to the list.

Here is the post for the script.
I did it at 5 minute intervals to justify more drives.
I copied the report into Excel.
I am attaching a sample report that shows the activity. This is not the one
that I used justify more drives.
The vertical bars are the hours.
Something that bit me on this script. It is only looking for activity on a
drive. It does not distinguish who owns the drive. SSO drives show up in
the report and it does not signify that the drive is in use by another media
server.
The media server that I used this report on had no shared drives.

Hi all,
I found my old drive utilization script and updated it. It's been tested on
6.0.4 and it works there. Change the email address in it to your email
address, add it to cron (on a maybe 15 min interval or so) on a media server
that can see all the tape drives. It samples every 15 minutes, and will
mail a report new report to you at the rolling of the day.
Output looks like this (snipped from 15:00). Ignore all the down drives, we
were performing library maintenance:

Yeah - that was my script but it was broken by the new spammy behavior of
the vmoprcmd output. I haven't updated it yet.

I think it's been a year or two but somebody did post a script to this list
to do this. I run Aptare's StorageConsole and this is one of the canned
reports so I didn't keep the script.
