Re: [Veritas-bu] Query remote drives
Quick Idea, what do you all think ? It would appear that retrieving device names and serial numbers remotely can't be done through NBU so what about setting up a scheduled job on each windows media server to run every 5 mins or so to run tpautoconf -t , output it into the desired format and then bpgp the file into an allocated area on the master, the master then has the relevent info it needs. [...] Yeah I know of the below, what I'm trying to achieve is putting a script together to check drives across the SSO environment and re-organise accordingly by adding/deleting as necessary. To do this I would need serial number info on the drives per media server in order to add them correctly into the SSO env. Having trouble imagining a production environment so unstable that it would need tape drives reconfigured every five minutes--or every five days. No drives, no bridges, no fibre or cabling or switches or HBAs or drivers or OS or app should be that flaky. Wouldn't it make more sense to fix the underlying problem, rather than build a bigger hammer to use every time said problem pops up? Not trying to beat you up--just wondering why you are attacking it with reconfiguration-on-error. ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
