Re: NDMP tape status

Hi Iain!
I have looked at the move media command and I believe that this is what I
want to enter if I want to send my tapes to our offsite vaulting company,
but I guess what I don't understand is what the difference is between the
remove=yes and bulk. I have an STK SL8500 library with ACSLS. If I use
this command and I send the tapes offsite, then how do I know when to bring
them back or do I just do a: q med status=empty and then when I get a list
of tapes that need to be returned issue the command move med *
stg=tape_ndmp wherestate=mountablenotinlib wherestatus=empty?
mov med * stg=tape_ndmp wherestate=mountableinlib wherestatus=full
rem=yes checkl=n ovflo='Vital Records'
Honestly I am very confused right now about this whole process because I am
using EDT with my regular TSM backups since I have LTO2 drives/tapes. I
had to define an ACSLS library along with an external library and I just
have so many unknowns of how regular processing is done with an ACSLS
library and NDMP backups. If anyone can clear things up for me I would
appreciate it. Thank you!

Joni,
Not sure if what you're trying to achieve is the same as I was, but
here's what Terry McColgan suggested for me and it works perfectly
(thanks again Terry).
Use the move media command:
mov med * stg=<yourpoolname> wherestate=mountableinlib wherestatus=full
rem=b checkl=n ovflo=TOPDRAWER
This command will mark all tapes in the <yourpoolname> as being in the
"topdrawer" overflow location, if they meet the criteria specified with
"wherestat" and "wherestatus" parameters. It will also auto checkout the
tapes to the entry/exit ports, if you don't want that to happen, change
the "rem" parameter.
If you do a "help move media" at the cmd you'll get the complete
details.
Hope this helps, it certainly did me :)
Iain

Hi Everyone!
I am trying to eject the NDMP backup tapes from our library and send
them offsite. I tried to update the access of the tapes to offsite, but
it won't let me stating that it has to be a copy storage pool volume or
a volume with devclass of server. Since I can't do either of these,
what is the standard method of sending the tapes offsite and having the
TSM server be aware that they are not onsite? Thank you in advance!
