I need to get complete tape drive name and status remotely now. I had been using tpconfig on the local server, but I want to centralize my command interface on a remote server. I looked at vmoprcmd, but: 1) vmoprcmd truncates drive names that are longer than 20 characters. This has caused issues. Two drives whose name are identical in their first 20 characters won't be distinguished. The 20 characters limit has been present for a long time and is still present today in NetBackup 7.5. 2) while tpconfig connects "physically" to the drives, vmoprcmd gets its data from the NetbackUp database, so there is always the possibility that vmoprcmd is not always accurate. This is particularly the case if a configuration change was made without restarting the Media Manager daemon (ltid). Does anyone know of a command that I can use remotely to get tape drive status and fully qualified names? http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH31854 http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/how-netbackup-determines-drive-status Jerry Athena®, Created for the Cause™ Making a Difference in the Fight Against Breast Cancer How and Why I Should Support Bottled Water!
