Here's what I do from a ksh script . . .

/usr/bin/dsmadmc -id=myuid -pass=mypasswd q actlog msgno=8337
begint=00:00 begind=-1 endd=-1 endt=23:59 | \
       /usr/bin/grep -c ANR8337

This gives me a count of the number of tape mounts yesterday.  I
execute this script, log the output to a file, and then generate a graph
using gnuplot to show the drive mounts over time.

The VOLUMES table has the information so long as the tape does not go
scratch.  Once it scratches it and reenters the counters are all reset.
 Do
this Select to see what is there.  The accounting log may have
information
that is permanently kept, but you will have to write your own code to
process it.

SELECT * from volumes where volume_name='vvvvvv'

Subject: SQL to find # of mounts for tapes?


Hi there,

I need the gurus help on this. I know my 3494 library keeps track of
how
many mounts each 3590 tape endures, but I was wondering if there was a
way
through tsm to find that out as well, most likely I assume through
TSM/SQL.
I'm looking for:

Number of mounts for each tape
Number of writing sessions to each tape (ie a backup or archive
session, or
reclamation write) Number of reading sessions from each tape (ie a
restore
session or a reclamation read)


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm currently running Server Version  4.1.5 on AIX 4.3.3 however I will
soon
be migrating to 5.1.x


Thanks in advance,
