Colin:

You can check http://www.xbpadm-commands.com for scripts to do this.  I have
written a tape rotation script which you should be able to modify to meet
your needs.

Alternatively, if you use vmupdate from the command line (with parameters)
you will be able to automatically update your DB.

I'm not at a machine right now, but I believe it would look something like
this:

vmupdate -rn 0 -rt tld


or something similar...

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Inventory Robot Script


Hi,

Does anybody know how to get the volume databse in NetBackup to update as
soon as the tapes are entered into the libary?

The problem I am having is that every week I have to go into NetBackup and
update the inventory.

I don't mind doing this but when I am away it doesn't get done so I end up
using all my scratch tapes.


Is there a script about that can do this?

Thanks for any help in advance,

Colin.
