I have two disk-based SD servers, which are separate physical servers from our 
Director server. The hostnames are:
bac-sd01-az - SD server 1
bac-sd02-az - SD server 2
bac-dir-az - Director server

The disk volumes are named uniquely on the two SD servers:
bac-sd01-az - volume names start with az- (e.g.: az-monthly-1, az-weekly-1, 
az-daily-1, etc.)
bac-sd02-az -volume names start with az2- (e.g.: az2-monthly-1, az2-weekly-1, 
az2-daily-1, etc.)

Due to running low on disk space on bac-sd01-az, I installed and cutover to a second SD server with more disk space, bac-sd02-az. I did this quite a while ago and no longer need the volumes in my catalog that were on bac-sd01-az. To make matters even more fun, bac-sd02-az is now running low on disk space, so I installed larger disks in bac-sd01-az and rebuilt it. I would now like to cut back over to bac-sd01-az.

Before I do the cutover, I would like to delete all entries that may still exist in my catalog for volumes that had been stored on bac-sd01-az, so I can start using it from scratch.

I don't need a script that handles deleting the volumes from bac-sd01-az, as all of the volumes are already gone. However, I'm wondering what bconsole command(s) I can run to delete all volumes starting with az- from my catalog, while leaving everything starting with az2- intact. That way, I can cut back over to bac-sd01-az, without having stale entries in the catalog.

Thanks in advanceĀ for your help!

Hello Sean,

It is pretty straight forward to do in a small script:
----8<----
#!/bin/bash

for vol in $(echo "list media" | bconsole | grep "az-[mwd]" | awk '{print 
$4}'); do
  echo "Working on Volume: $vol"
  # echo "delete yes volume=$vol" | bconsole
done
----8<----


Then rm then the az-* from disk

Please test and then uncomment the `delete yes volume=` line to actually delete 
the volumes from the catalog. ;)


Hope this helps.

*note: I wrote this on-the-fly, in my email client, and while I was in a Zoom presentation so there may be a rogue typo or two. :)


Best regards,
Bill
