Thanks Mark, that was just what I needed.

For anyone who is interested...
Here is a little scriptlet to check all your tape drives and add up
the hours on each one.
Just put the NetBackup names of your SSO media servers in the script.


#!/usr/bin/perl
#
#  Check Tape Drives for mount time since last cleaning
#       compile results from all media servers
#
#   usage:  ./check_tape_drives.pl
#
use strict;

my @nbmediaservs = ( "NBserv1", " NBserv2", "NBserv3" );
my %cleaninfo;
my @drvlines;
my %drvhours;
my $checkcmd = "/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmoprcmd -h ";

foreach my $svr ( @nbmediaservs ) {
  $cleaninfo{$svr} = `$checkcmd $svr -clean -L`;
  $cleaninfo{$svr} =~ s/^Drive.*\*\*\*\n//s;
  @drvlines = split(/\n/, $cleaninfo{$svr});
  foreach ( @drvlines ) {
    /\s*(\S*)\s*(\S*)\s*(\S*).*$/;
    $drvhours{$1} += $3;
  }
}

print "Hours Mounted per Tape Drive \n";
print "---------------------------- \n";
foreach ( keys %drvhours ) { printf("%8s - %6.1f \n", $_, $drvhours{$_}); }
