Need help with specific Networker Media Reporting - Scripts?

I have one that is interactive and your welcome to try.

It is shell script so must run on either a Linux based server or Linux based Networker client.

Here is the tape management script that i used in my previous organizations. its a perl script so in case you are on windows you will have to install Perl and also do some minor modifications. There is one for SILO based JB and one for normal SCSI attached JB.

crazyrov,

Thanks much for the reply and scripts.  Can you tell me a bit more of what outputs they can produce?  What changes would I need to make for a windows environment?

Thanks again, I really appreciate it.

I forgot to mention in my original post that the current environment is purely windows based.

Thanks again for all the replies.

The script that you might find useful would be the one for the JB. The script triggers and email containing the

First you might have to install perl on your system. The other things you might want to change are the tape library name, email addresses and the command paths e.g : /usr/sbin/mminf to just mminfo.

Please share the script. I wanna try that as well.

OK - several times in this forum I mentioned that I love PowerShell and that you can use it well to run even sophisticated tasks for NetWorker. So I think it is time to share a PS script which I wrote a while ago and which I think might fit pretty well in this discussion.

During my 'career' I learnt - better I got in touch - with a bunch of languages although I never became a programmer. And this is what you will see when you open the attached text file:

  - It is pretty long

  - It is modular - this is especially helpful when you need to test specific routines as others can easily be disabled in the 'Main' section

  - It contains pretty structured code (it does not contain one of these sophisticated '1-liners')

  - It is rather well documented

  - It is easy to understand

  - It is easy to modify

So I hope by changing only a few lines in the beginning it could be a good start to adopt to fit your personal needs.

Besides that I want to encourage other forum members to join me and share their script and to show their competence.

May the shell be with you ...

Thanks bingo  !

Hi bingo,

I just came across your PS script and I am going to try it but I would like to know how to look for more than one pool. What has to be changed in the script?

By the way, Microsoft open sourced PS to Linux and MAC, so this would be a great candidate to test on Linux!

Thanks

In general, mminfo works like any other query command:

  - if you do not specify a certain criteria, all will be allowed (delete the 'pool= ' string)

  - however if you specify a single criteria, you must add all that apply, for example

        mminfo -q "...,pool= ,pool= ,..." -r " " ...

Thanks bingo, I'll play with this.
