Re: [Veritas-bu] Ejecting Tapes in Netbackup 6.0 MP5

The command that I use is…

vmchange -h <master> -multi_eject -res -ml <colon delimited list of tapes> -rt <robot type> -rn <robot number> -rh <media> -sc -verbose

I found the –sc option through google somewhere a while back, not sure if it is supported, but it is not documented as far as I have seen.

I have tried this on unix and windows.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Ejecting Tapes in Netbackup 6.0 MP5

Is anyone using scripts to auto eject tapes from their library?

In the previous versions I had a script to eject the tapes that used the following command:

vmchange -rn 0 -res -m MED001 -mt DLT3 -e -sec 1

These parameters no longer work with Netbackup 6 (imagine that)

I see they have a multi-eject parameter but that command is interactive. If run without the -w parameter Netbackup spawns another tldcd process which locks access to the library.
I need something that can be run via a script.

Thanks
Lowell
