Backup Central

Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

I know if I have media available in the scratch pool, then NetBackup
should pull it and use it if it needs more tapes in a given library.

Anyone know how I can verify if this is working? Is there a log that
shows if media is being pulled from the scratch pool? Is there any
config I need to check, I want to make sure there isn't a flag out
there like USE_SCRATCH_MEDIA False or something like that...

Thanks,

vmquery might be your best friend here, field 12 is the current pool, field
14 is the previous pool.

vmquery -w -a | awk '$12!=$14 && $14=="Scratch" {print $1}'

just substitute your scratch pool name for "Scratch" above. Output is tape
numbers that aren't in the Scratch pool but were in it previously.
