NetWorker is a Dell EMC backup solution and is available for Linux, Windows, macOS, NetWare, OpenVMS and Unix.

The mminfo command reports information about NetWorker media and save sets.

To get a report that is suitable for the TapeTrack Sync command, the following minimum arguments should be used:

<sxh plain;> mminfo -xc, -a -r “volume,barcode,family,type,location,pool” > report.csv </sxh>

<sxh plain;> volume,barcode,family,type,location,pool 000000L6,000000L6,tape,LTO,Offsite,weekly_full 000001L6,000001L6,tape,LTO,Offsite,weekly_full 000002L6,000002L6,tape,LTO,Offsite,weekly_full 000003L6,000003L6,tape,LTO,Offsite,weekly_full 000004L6,000004L6,tape,LTO,Offsite,weekly_full 000005L6,000005L6,tape,LTO,Offsite,weekly_full 000006L6,000006L6,tape,LTO,Offsite,weekly_full 000007L6,000007L6,tape,LTO,Offsite,weekly_full </sxh>

It possible for NetWorker barcodes to be missing the LTO L-Suffix.

It is always recommended that where possible volumes be loaded into TapeTrack with their L-Suffix, and this suffix can be established by:

1. The Media-ID value if it includes the suffix.
2. Adding an appropriate suffix to the Media-ID based upon the value of the Media Type field.
3. Adding an appropriate suffix based upon the range of the Media-ID.
4. Using TapeTrack's Constructive Barcode feature.

Synchronization with TapeTrack is performed by calling the TMSS10Sync command line program, along with:

1. The CSV file produced by pre-processing the mminfo output.
2. Command line arguments that instruct the program how to process volumes.
3. A synchronization definition file that instructs the program how to interpret the mminfo output.

<sxh> TMSS10Sync -d NetWorker.ttidef -a -S user:-password@server < report.csv </sxh>

Where:

• -d is the path to the Synchronization Definition File.
• -a tells the program to add new tape volumes if they are encountered.
• -S tells the program what Server to connect to.
• report.csv is the mminfo output file.

<sxh plain;> # # Set the Customer and Media as literal values as they never change # SetLiteral(CUSTOMER, “ACME”); SetLiteral(MEDIA, “LTO”); # # Set the delimiter to a CSV # SetCSVDelimiter(“,”) # # Skip any line that begins with string volume (header) AddString(EXCLUSION, 0, “volume*”); # # Set the Description to the Pool Name # Extract(DESCRIPTION, 6, 20, 0); RemoveSpaces(DESCRIPTION); # # Get the Volume-ID from the report Extract(VOLUME, 1, 8, 0); # # Get the Repository from a translated location Extract(REPOSITORY, 5, 20, 0); RemoveSpaces(REPOSITORY); # # Send any volume from the pool offsite to OFFS repository, all others to LIBR AddTranslation(REPOSITORY, “Offsite*”, “OFFS”); AddTranslation(REPOSITORY, *, “LIBR”);
