We run the following macro to checkout our tapes. Pipe the output of this macro to another file. The output would be in this format 'checkout libv 3494 volume_name remove=yes'. Execute this output file.Once the tapes are all out mark the volumes as offsite. Do this by "update volume volume_name access=offsite".
select 'checkout libv 3494 '|| volume_name ||' remove=yes' as "Remove Tape Script " from volumes where not access='OFFSITE' and stgpool_name='COPYPOOL' and days(current_date)-days(last_write_date)<=1 select volume_name, date_time as "DATE_TIME "from volhistory where type='BACKUPFULL' select 'checkout libv 3494 '|| volume_name ||' remove=yes' as "Remove DB Tape Script " from libvolumes where last_use='DbBackup' -Raminder Braich > -----Original Message----- > From: Etienne Brodeur [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 3:31 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Script to CHECKOUT multiples tapes on SCSI library > > That is a very good question, sinbce I don't have DRM (or at least I > didn't > buy it so I am not using it).
