Hi all,

I found my old drive utilization script and updated it.  It's been tested on 
6.0.4 and it works there.  Change the email address in it to your email 
address, add it to cron (on a maybe 15 min interval or so) on a media server 
that can see all the tape drives.  It samples every 15 minutes, and will mail a 
report new report to you at the rolling of the day.

Output looks like this (snipped from 15:00).  Ignore all the down drives, we 
were performing library maintenance:

Yeah - that was my script but it was broken by the new spammy behavior of the 
vmoprcmd output.  I haven't updated it yet.

I would like to be able to report on drive usage over a period of time:

either individually, or # in use. 

I am interested in identifying periods where additional backups might be

scheduled.

I think it's been a year or two but somebody did post a script to this list
to do this.  I run Aptare's StorageConsole and this is one of the canned
reports so I didn't keep the script.
