Re: [Veritas-bu] How can I get a count of tapes that have a retention of

bpmedialist –U gives 2 lines of output for each tape.

Based on the hint however I found bpmedialist –l gives a single line and wrote the following script. If you cut and paste it into a file on your RHEL system and set permissions to execute it this should output what you want.

It also has a fair amount of detailed comments in it so it could be used to get similar information by modifying some of the variables.

#!/bin/bash

# Script to get all media that expires 1 year or longer from now

# 31-Jul-2015 jlightner - Initial write

# Input is used from bpemedialist -l (as it gives one line per media).

# Sample record from bpmedialist -l:

#DS0829 *NULL* 1 14 1434682810 1434682810 2147483647 0 20492256 1 1 9 4 0 0 1024 0 320196 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

# Fields as defined in man page:

#media_id partner_id version density time_allocated time_last_written time_of_expiration time_last_read Kbytes nimages vimages_unexpired_images retention_level volume_pool number_of_restores status hsize ssize l_offset reserved psize reserved four reserved fields

# NOTE: The above is all one line starting with the “#” – if you cut and paste from email make sure this is the case in your script.

# Breakdown of fields of above sample based on man page:

#media_id partner_id version density time_allocated time_last_written

#END OF BREAKDOWN

# Note the times above are in Epoch (a/k/a Unix time, Posix time) which makes

# them easy to sort by.

#epdate=$(date +%s) # Not used but noted - this will output current Epoch time.

datey=$(date +%Y) # Current 4 full year (e.g. 2015)

datemd=$(date +%m%d)# Current MMDD (e.g. 0731)

nextyr=$(($datey + 1)) # Determine next year by adding 1. (e.g. 2015 + 1 = 2016)

nextep=$(date +%s -d $nextdt) # Epoch version of next year (e.g 1469937600)

# Now do a while loop on the output of bpmedialist -l, assigning the first 7

# fields as defined by man page then assigning everything else to a final "rest"

# variable since we won't use anything beyond the first 7.

# Key variables assigned here are "mid" which is Media ID and tm_exp which is

# the expiration date (in epoch)

# The loop will firs sort the output of bpmedialist by the expiration date field

# then will only output the Media ID and the Expiration date for those tapes

# that have an expiration greater than or equal to one year from today.

bpmedialist -l |sort -nk7 |while read mid pid ver dens tm_all tm_writ tm_exp rest

do if [[ $tm_exp -ge $nextep ]]

then calexp=$(date -d @$tm_exp)

echo $mid $calexp

done

Run command "bpmedialist -U"

I’m currently running NetBackup 7.6.0.1 on Redhat Linux. I admit, I’m taking the quick easy way out on
this but I need an answer kind of quick. Is there a way I can get a count of tapes that have a
retention of more than 1 year?
Thanks in advance…
