I would like to see this. If you could post it to the group I'd
appreciate it. 
Thanks

About a year ago, I got frustrated enough with available_media that I
took a
few minutes and figured out why it was so stupid and slow.  Once I
figured
it out, I took a few hours and wrote a completely new version of
available_media in Perl that's much, much faster and correctly reports
the
status of all the media.  I also have it report EMPTY media (i.e. tapes
that
have no valid Netbackup images but have not been returned to the pool
of
AVAILABLE media, which get reported as DBBACKUP media in Veritas'
available_media), and the command required to "fix" these media is
listed at
the end of the report.

If anyone wants a copy of this script, let me know and I'll email it to
you.
