Shyam,
I looked at vmquery, but no luck. I want to get the tape type such as DLT, LTO, etc... I can at least hard code the raw capacity by tape type in to a script and use that as a look up, but I am trying to figure out how Netbackup knows the tape type.
Thanks,
Kevin

Did you look at vmquery ?   There is no way tot get raw capacity. You can get the used capacity of a tape using bpmedialist.

Hope this helps

All,
I am trying to figure out how I can get the capacity or type of tape media from NetBackup. I don't see anywhere where I can get Raw Capacity of a tape, but see that bpmedialist does show density. The problem is that I am seeing hcart instead of DLT or LTO, etc.... I have also tried vmquery -a, but that doesn't show me enough detail.

Is there anyway to get the actual raw capacity or actual media type from NetBackup?
Thanks in advance.
-Kevin
