All - Not sure if anyone is actively using this (updated?) command in the NBU 6x environment. If you are not, you might want to look at it, and if you are, maybe you can shed some more light. This could come in handy for automating drive down, pending request notification, etc. which is what I intend to use it for. It (appears to) captures in one output the results from all media servers, whereas other commands needed to be run on each media server.
If one issues the command "vmoprcmd -devmon ds -no_format" you'll get output similar to the following: OPR_DISP60 DRIVE: MV01P_D057 3 8 kermit /dev/rmt/c55t0d3BESTnb 87bcd58283c7a098069af8 16 2 0 - 56 - - 0 82 3 57 -1 -1 -1 0 0 692081 0 0 0 0 0 0 - - - IBM~~~~~ULTRIUM-TD2~~~~~022C - - - - OPR_DISP60 DRIVE: MV01P_D058 3 8 kermit /dev/rmt/c49t0d3BESTnb 87bce39283c7a098069af8 16 2 0 - 57 - - 0 82 3 58 -1 -1 -1 0 0 710531 0 0 0 0 0 0 - - - IBM~~~~~ULTRIUM-TD2~~~~~022C - - - - OPR_DISP60 DRIVE: MV01P_D059 3 8 kermit /dev/rmt/c55t0d4BESTnb 87bcf18e83c7a098069af8 16 2 0 - 58 - - 0 82 3 59 -1 -1 -1 0 0 679363 0 0 0 0 0 0 - - - IBM~~~~~ULTRIUM-TD2~~~~~022C - - - - OPR_DISP60 DRIVE: MV01P_D060 3 8 kermit /dev/rmt/c49t0d4BESTnb 87bcff6c83c7a098069af8 16 2 0 - 59 - - 0 82 3 60 -1 -1 -1 0 0 746975 0 0 0 0 0 0 - - - IBM~~~~~ULTRIUM-TD2~~~~~022C - - - - In this case, 39 fields are returned. We've been able to decode a few of them (we think): (field/description) 3: drive name 4: density 5: robot type 6: media server 7: drive path 8: drive serial number 10: up or down (2=up, 1 = down) 13: drive index # 14 & 15: volsers (recorded/external) 18: robot # 19: drive # 33: IBM device name 34: comment 35: model text 36: scan host As you can see, this command's output is an improvement over previous in that spaces within fields are automatically converted to tildes for easy parsing. It would appear as though at least some of the fields are aliases to references in the configuration files (/usr/openv/var/global). Also - this command works with the "pr" switch instead of "ds" to give pending requests. Removing the "pr" and "ds" merges drive status info with pending requests.... Nice but a little more work to parse. If anyone else out there has used this command - have you been able to decipher any of the other fields?
