Tivoli Storage Manager - Tape Libray Usage

Monday, July 13th, 2009

Hi,

We do a lot of work work with Tivoli Storage Manager and a lot of our smaller customers have storage pools that will not fit into their tape library. We know this is totally wrong but is life and it happens.

Heres a small script we thought we would share, it has helped us loads over the past years; it displays the current tape libray usage so you can make an informed choice on the tapes to remove or reclaim.

def script q_li_usage “select volume_name,stgpool_name,pct_utilized,status from volumes where volume_name in (select volume_name from libvolumes)”
