Hello,
I use a very simple script, cronned every 15 minutes or so.
It writes out the current time, mounted volumes and in use volumes to a
dated file, ready to throw at Excel.
and it looks like this;
#!/bin/ksh
TSM='dsmadmc -id=! -pa=! '
outfile=/mountcount$(date +%d%m%y)
qfile=/mountcount_TSM_query_output
######################
#
#mountcount. Queries number of mounted tapes from TSM.
#
######################
${TSM} q mo >> ${qfile}
mounteds=$(cat ${qfile} | grep -c "is mounted")
inuses=$(cat ${qfile} | grep -c "IN USE")
echo $(date +%H:%M:%S)" "${mounteds}" "${inuses} >> ${outfile}
rm ${qfile}
