Drive usage

[ddjm]

looking to put some statistics together on the drives we have to basically show how long they are in use for how fast they save the data and anything else that maybe useful etc

can anyone offer any good scripts or commands that can be run to show some decent data I could strip form the results into a graph???

thnx in advance

TSMManager has a great Drive Useage analysis that provides a nice Gant chart. Otherwise this select can help it will show mount times for each drive(make sure you put your library name where stated):

select start_time,end_time,library_name,drive_name,volume_name from summary where activity='TAPE MOUNT' and library_name='<LIBRARY-NAME-HERE>' and cast((current_timestamp-start_time)hours as decimal)<24 order by library_name,drive_name

So you may do this with TSM Manager. I've never had problems with this.
TSM Manager will generate some graphes for you. Mostly there is no need for any extra commands or scripts.
Where exactly is the problem? Sorry for I didn't get it.
