Jonathan,

I like the :

vmoprcmd -h $MEDIA_SERVER_NAME -xdraw

But on NB6 this command is better for listing media servers:

nbemmcmd -listhost

Cheers,

Dom

Two ways to obtain a list of all tape drives logically in use by media
servers across a netbackup environment:
1 vmdareq (not always accurate)
2. bpstulist (to obtain a list of media servers)
   vmoprcmd -h $MEDIA_SERVER_NAME -xdraw 
   The output provides a list of all drives in use.

To obtain a list of what drives are physically loaded use a tool that
queries the library directly.
If the robot is a TLD use tldtest as shown below:
echo "s d" | tldtest -r $ROBOT_DEVICE_NAME You can obtain the robotic
device name by typing robtest and choosing the robot.
Be sure to exit out of robtest because the tldd process can not control
the arm while you are in and you will end up with Status 52 mount
failures.
