media list will only show assigned tapes.

use the output from "vmquery -a".  It'll show you all tapes in the volume 
database - the whole shebang regardless of assigned state, location, etc.

If there's no "assigned date" then the tape is currently empty.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Running out of tapes


I need to order some tapes but I want to account for all of the tapes I
have before hand.  I've got about 230 LTO-3 in my hand kept inventory
but when I run a media list  report from Netbackup it states I only have
120 tapes.

Anyone have a clue as to what happened to the other 130 tapes?  I know
they are either in the library or offsite but since the media report
does not list those 120 tapes I don't know if they are expired.  I
suppose I can assume so but I'd like to understand why they are not in
the media report first.
