drive_unmount_notify script (on UNIX)

The NetBackup tpunmount command runs the drive_unmount_notify script (if it exists) after media is unmounted. This script is valid for robotic drives and standalone drives.

Each time a tape volume is unmounted, this script gathers information about the drive that is unmounted. This script also lets you perform special-handling. For example, you can use the script to gather log sense or other data from a drive and place it in an output file. You can change the information that the script gathers by modifying the script.

After the script runs, control is then returned to NetBackup to resume processing.

This script is located in the following directory:

/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/goodies

To use this script, activate it and place it into the /usr/openv/volmgr/bin directory. See the script for instructions about how to activate it and how to modify it.
