Netbackup Tape Management

List the tapes in the Load ports, If there is a tape in a port you will see "full=1", if empty "full=0"

echo "s i q" | tldtest -r /dev/sg/c0tw500104f0009f24d7l0

For interactive menu to move tapes

tldtest -r /dev/sg/c0tw500104f0009f24d7l0

For example, to move a tape from load port 4 to slot 23

m p4 s23

To see if there are any tapes in the load ports

s i q ( there are spaces between each letter )

To find the empty slots in tape library, this will list all of the full slots, the ones not listed are empty, should be easy to pick out the gaps

available_media | nawk '{ print $5}' | sort -n | grep '^[1-9]'

To list the free slots in the library
echo "s s" | tldtest -r /dev/sg/c0tw500104f0009f24d7l0 | grep 'contains Cartridge = no'

To update the volume configuration in the library, needs to be done when tapes are loaded or unloaded manually, the accuracy of the information displayed by the "available_media" command depends on the volume configuration being updated.

vmupdate -rt TLD -rn 0
