Yes, this'll work but I am trying to figure out the best way to do it via the command line as I am looking for tapes amongst a vast array of master & media servers.

Here to be proved wrong, but if Netbackup knows about the tapes, then surely they should be listed in the Reports Module "Media Lists".
 
Also, to prove if Netbackup does know about them and they are in the Robot, doing a "Media Contents" report will load the tape and give you all the backup ID's it knows about!
 
Is this of any help?

Problem:
 
I have a few tapes:
 
L00123
L00124
L00125
 
I need to find the status of these tapes across multiple master servers.
 
Is there a text equivalent to list all of the tapes in the:
 
* Media and Device Management
-> Media
 
In the Media Manager's Media List?
 
I have several tapes I need to find the status of, whether they are frozen, expired or scratch, etc...
 
bpmedialist does not show the complete listing of all of the media that has ever been in the robot.
 
I am looking at the documentation now but thought I'd send this out if anyone knew it off the top of their head?
 
Thanks,
 
Justin.
