We've been getting a lot of error 96 (no media available) which is something quite easily preventable. Put more tapes in!!
Problem is my admins are guessing as to how many blank tapes will be needed for any given night.
I have a solution in mind which will look at past use, data growth etc to make this guessing more reliable.
But to start I need a simple script to tell me how many tapes where used on a given day.
I've tried the following command where I try to list all media written to on Sept 9, 2006. But the output shows dates up to the current date Sept 11.
bpimagelist -U -media -d 09/10/06 -e 10/10/06
Is there a better method?
