There are several messages in bptm and bpsched when there are no scratch tapes left. Oh man, I feel your pain. Every quarter I order tapes and have to justify the order to the controllers of each business unit. I do a clientbackup report and pull it into Excel to do calculations per server, then per business unit to determine how many tapes each one should be charged for. I also periodically do a medialist and pull it into Excel to calculate average amount of data I’m getting on a tape so I can use that in my calculations. The whole process sucks the life right out of me:^0 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of WEAVER, Simon Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2006 2:43 AM To: 'veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu' Subject: [Veritas-bu] Scratch Pool Alert Guys Daft question here, but I have a remote site that has a low supply of tapes and the scratch pool is empty Is there a way to set an alert if the tapes get low or down to Zero? I am also trying to justify to the business that the tapes are needed !! Any help or opinions on making a plea would also help Thanks Simon

Title: Message You can write a scrip that looks for 96 errors and to send a page. We have this installed now if a backup jobs fails because of a 96 it alerts us.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Scratch Pool Alert
A simple script would work.$ sudo /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmquery -rn 0 -bx | grep -ic scratch105numscratch=$(/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmquery -rn 0 -bx | grep -ic scratch)if [ $numscratch -lt 350 ]; then > echo "You have less than 350 scratch tapes, put some more in."> fiYou have less than 350 scratch tapes, put some more in.Then you could just pipe that to an e-mail if you wanted to.
