Command to list drive state

[hugonovo]

Hello all!!

Is there any comand to list all drive state (perhaps by STU)?

The only one I found was "bpconfig -U" but it gives STU config (not drive(s)state)!!

Thank you in advance,
Best Regards,
Hugo Novo

Use the vmoprcmd like this: vmoprcmd -h <server> -d ds

Try using &quot;tpconfig -d&quot;....

vmdareq -a can be important to use, as it will display drive reservations. Depending on your rev level, NBU can leave bogus drive reservations when jobs end, tapes dismount & drives should release - but don't. This happens worst in a mixed Windows/UNIX environment + SSO. We use vmdareq to check for bogus reservations at least once a day.

vmdareq -a will also display scan-host assignment of media servers in SSO. The importance of scan-host assignement varies, depending on what level Veritas employee you talk to, but our experience tells us that if it is not right, you're gonna have problems.

You could also use a command to check the status of all drives across all media servers. This could then send a message if the drive is down and also attempt to bring the drive backup. I have a script that runs under Unix that does this. It can be found at
