Dear All,
I want to setup a cron job to inventory tapes every hour (to exclude
this task from the scope of work of the personnel doing the tape
swaps).


Please see the quote from Backup Central NetBackup FAQ "How do I
inventory my library?" at
http://www.backupcentral.com/components/com_mambowiki/index.php/How_do_I_inventory_my_library%3F

== start of quote
i've used this command from cron for a few years in nbu 3.4 to 5.1:
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmupdate -rn 0 -rt tld -rh akcux02 where tld is
the library name abd akcux02 is the host name.


My question: do you think NetBackup will be able to resolve any
conflicts if cron initiated inventory happens at the same time as the
normal tape operations initiated by NetBackup?

We are running 6.5.6 on RH Linux 5

Thank you,
Aleksandr
