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 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

To show tape drive status

vmoprcmd -d ds

vmoprcmd -dp ds

How many tape drives are in current use

ssh <server> /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmoprcmd -dp ds | awk '{ print $4}' | grep Yes | wc -l

Tape volume pools
Determine which volume pools are available by running the following command:
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmpool -listall

To change the volume pool of the media, run the following command:
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmchange -M <master server> -p <pool number> -m <media ID>
