Re: [Networker] Tape Sorting Routine

King, David - Eastman said...:
What with us replacing many tapes that have gone bad with new ones, our
barcodes are out of order.
Has anyone written a routine to resort them?
I did something similar a few years ago. I can't remember why or how
successful it was, but I'll post it here with no guarantees.
I don't think it actually sorts them into order, I think what it does is
to put a range of tapes MU0000-MU9999 into the slot numbers that match
the labels. It's not exactly what you asked for and it's certainly a bit
rough and ready, but it might make a good starting point for further
development.
#!/bin/ksh
typeset -i slot
nsrjb | while read origslot vol gash; do
if [ -n "$(echo $vol | grep "^MU[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]")" ]; then
vol=$(echo $vol | sed 's/(R)//')
slot=$(echo $vol | sed 's/MU//')
origslot=$(echo $origslot | sed 's/://')
if [ $slot = $origslot ]; then
echo "Volume $vol is in correct slot $slot"
elif [ $vol = MU0000 ]; then
echo "No slot for tape MU0000"
else
echo "Withdrawing tape $vol from slot $origslot"
nsrjb -wN $vol
echo "Withdrawing tape from slot $slot"
nsrjb -wN -S$slot
echo "Depositing to slot $slot"
nsrjb -dN -S $slot
nsrjb -dN
