Why don't you just check the volumes whose access is offsite and whose status is empty ? This is what I do. And to be sure that all volumes present in library are in an readwrite status, I just put all the volumes of the copypool in offsite state and then all the volumes of the libvol in readwrite state. For that, I use a Shell script which is below. The only thing which is special is that I only have private volumes and all the volumes of my copy pool have a name starting with 'COP' But I guess it wouldn't be very difficult to make a check on the libvol volumes to select the ones which belong to the copy pool
#!/bin/ksh LIBVOLS=$(dsmadmc -id=admin -pa=admin "select volume_name from libvolumes where volume_name like 'C%'" | grep COP) TOTVOLS=$(dsmadmc -id=admin -pa=admin "select volume_name from volumes where volume_name like 'C%'" | grep COP) for VOL in $TOTVOLS do dsmadmc -id=admin -pa=admin "upd vol $VOL acc=offsite" done for VOL in $LIBVOLS do dsmadmc -id=admin -pa=admin "upd vol $VOL acc=readw" done Etienne GUILLAUMONT e-mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] RGB Technologie Parc d'Innovation, Batiment PYTHAGORE 11 Rue Jean SAPIDUS 67400 ILLKIRCH Tél : 03 90 40 60 60 Fax : 03 90 40 60 61 Henrik Wahlstedt To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <shwl@STATOIL cc: .COM> Subject: missing volumes Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] RIST.EDU> 29/08/02 12:45 Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" Hello, I would like to know how to compare volume names in volumes and libvolumes with a select statement. Or if there are other ways to determine missing volumes? I use 4.1.3.0. ex. I dont use DRM but I send my volumes offsite and update their access to offsite. I bring back my volumes onsite, I do a checkin and an 'upd vol * access=readw wherestg=copypool whereaccess=offsite wherestatus=empty'. If the volumes arent checked in the library or by some reason still are offsite when they are updated I will miss/need them sooner or later... How do I find eventually missing volumes? Dont suggest using DRM, I will if there is a need for that product (server to server). tia \\Henrik ------------------------------------------------------------------- The information contained in this message may be CONFIDENTIAL and is intended for the addressee only.
