To check/free locked devices in HP DP

HP DP Command to check/free a device

>> omnimm -show_locked_devs | grep <lock_name>
this command would list all the devices that are being used by the DP cell server. Medium, cartridge, devices

Ex:

Type:               Medium
Name/Id:   c75f:0034:0000:XXXX            //Media ID
Pid:                 23362                                       //Process Id that utilizes the media
Host:               cellsrv01.in.com                    //name of the cell manager (useful in MOM)
Label:             BM1000L3                              //Medium label

Type:         Device        
Name/Id:   ESLE1_D02                          //Drive name
Pid:           25754                                     //Process Id that utilizes the drive
Host:              cellsrv01.in.com                    //name of the cell manager, (useful in MOM)

Type:         Cartridge                     
Name/Id:   ESLE1                                  //Name of the library
Pid:           25836                                   //Process Id that utilises the drive
Host:         cellsrv01.in.com                  //name of the cell manager, (useful in MOM)
Location: 102                           

>> omnidbutil -show_locked_devs
The command would list all the devices, media, cartridge and slots that are in use by Data Protector cell manager.

>> omnidbutil -free_locked_devs <device_name>

Ex:

>> omnidbutil -free_locked_devs ESLE1_D02
Confirm the command by hitting 'Y': Y

After execution of this command, the drive will get released and can be used for any other purpose.

P.S: Omnidbutil / Omnimm commands can be used interchangeably to identify locked devices, to free locked devs, use omnidbutil.

  1. I have a issue where my device name has a space in it. Is there a way to change the device name? Add a dash or something. Otherwise the command line doesn't see it.

    1. In that case, try using single quote/double quote to mention the device name.

      Ex:

      omnidbutil -free_locked_devs 'ESLE1 L01'

      or

      omnidbutil -free_locked_devs "ESLE1 L01"

      Delete
  2. can we find out which backup is running on that particular drive??
