Re: Recycle an inserted tape

$

There would need to be a Data Protector variable to identify the tape, and no such variable exists.  All that is available is:

 

DATALIST

The name of a backup specification.

MODE

Backup operation type, such as full, incremental, incremental1, incremental2.

OWNER

Owner of the session,

The contents of this variable are in the same format as in the database (case-sensitive):

<user>.<group>@<hostname>

for UNIX

<DOMAIN>\<user>@<hostname>

for Windows

PREVIEW

The value is 1 if a preview is running and 0 if a backup is running. Use this variable to modify your commands

so that they are executed only during a backup and not during a preview. By default, the

pre- or post-exec commands are not executed for preview. You can enable

them by setting the global option ExecScriptOnPreview.

RESTARTED

Set to 1 if this is a restarted backup session, otherwise set to 0. The

post-exec can use this variable to prevent an additional restart in the case that

SMEXIT equals 0.

SESSIONID

Is used to identify a finished session and is recorded in

the database. You cannot use this to preview a session

(use SESSIONKEY).

SESSIONKEY

Is used to identify a running session. You may, for

example, abort a backup session before it is started if

something is wrong.

SMEXIT

The exit code of the Session Manager is the same as the

exit code of the

omnib command. You can only use this

variable with the

post-exec command. Agents can

refer to Disk Agents, Media Agents, Application

Agents, Symmetrix Agents, and so on.

 

In your script, you could do scan of the tape, for example

   omnimm -respository_update "DeviceName" -slot %1

 

where %1 is a slot number, but, to my knowledge, there is no way to extract the tape information from this.  Maybe if someone is really sharp as scripting (which I am not) could figure out a way to do this

 

I guess you'll have to recycle the tape the old-fashioned way
