Thanks to David for the snippet this morning. I wanted to find tapes which were expired (or very close to expired(*)) and have them loaded into the autochanger before they are purged, plus not have bacula suggest they be removed.
Here are the 2 snippets I suggest for this. They're adaptions of the existing entries and the advantage of these is that an expired-but-not-purged tape will be flagged for inclusion in the changer _BEFORE_ Bacula asks for it. :List Volumes Bacula thinks should be removed from changer SELECT VolumeName,VolStatus, VolBytes/(1024*1024*1024) AS GB, LastWritten, FROM_UNIXTIME(UNIX_TIMESTAMP(Media.LastWritten) + Media.VolRetention) AS Expiry, Slot,Storage.Name AS Location FROM Media,Pool,Storage WHERE Media.PoolId=Pool.PoolId AND Slot>0 AND InChanger=1 AND Media.StorageId=Storage.StorageId AND ((DATEDIFF(FROM_UNIXTIME(UNIX_TIMESTAMP(LastWritten) + (Media.VolRetention * .95)), NOW()) > 1 AND ((VolStatus='Used') OR (VolStatus='Full'))) OR (VolStatus='Disabled') OR (VolStatus='Error')) ORDER BY VolumeName ASC, Slot ASC; # 19 :List Volumes Bacula thinks are eligible for the changer SELECT VolumeName,VolStatus,Storage.Name AS Location, VolBytes/(1024*1024*1024) AS GB,LastWritten, FROM_UNIXTIME(UNIX_TIMESTAMP(Media.LastWritten) + Media.VolRetention) AS Expiry FROM Media,Pool,Storage WHERE Media.PoolId=Pool.PoolId # AND Media.StorageId=Storage.StorageId AND InChanger=0 AND Storage.Name='MSL6000-changer' AND ((VolStatus='Purged') OR (VolStatus='Append') OR (VolStatus='Recycle') OR DATEDIFF(FROM_UNIXTIME(UNIX_TIMESTAMP(Media.LastWritten) + (Media.VolRetention * .95)), NOW()) <= 1) ORDER BY VolumeName ASC, Pool.Name ASC, VolMounts ASC (*) The selection is 95% of the retention period, rather than Retention period - 7 days ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
