That will give the header info... as it was written by NetBackup, but if for 
some reason the 2 don't match, you're in trouble (in more ways that one!)
 
Also, I use vmoprcmd without any switches so I can see to which server the 
tape/drive are assigned.

Not sure myself unless "tldtest" has a switch for reading the barcode (doubt it 
though) , can you not extract info form your messages file.

 

What kind of problems are you trying to resolve??

 

Regards

 

Dave

Our environment is HP-UX 11.11, Netbackup 5.1 MP3 backing up mostly HP unix 
with some Sun and Windows backups. I know this has come up before but couldn't 
find anything in the archives.  I'm looking for a command line way to determine 
the bar code of a tape when it's in a drive.  I'm trying to gather info to 
determine if certain tapes are causing problems.

Thanks in advance.
