Have you looked at VERITAS TechNote ID: 199300?  It has a fix for the
slowness.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] available media script is slow and I need more
info...anything be tter
Importance: Low


hello.

Running the available media script sometimes is like running through thick
mud.  I use the script's output to see what tapes are available so I can
reuse them.   I want to bring back my tapes from a year ago and recycle
them.

I run available media on my Unix master, then ftp it to PC and put it into
EXCEL so I can pretty it up.  Paper is better for me sitting next to a pile
of tapes.

* What I'm looking for:
I would like to get a script that works faster than the available-media 
* the script would include an output column for volume group and expiration
date.   

Jim
