Title: Message

I use OpenView Operations agent to monitor the logs and alert the 24/7 operators to add SCRATCH tapes.  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

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
