vmoprcmd has a lot of drive commands for remote servers.
Run "vmoprcmd -Q" for the list.
The "clean" commands are:
-cleanlist
Display drive cleaning information.
-clean
Send media configuration commands to tpclean. This option is used
by java.
Use "-h" to specify the media server and follow "-clean" by the same
command-line things you'd feed to tpclean.

Does anyone know if it is possible to remotely run a command through
BPCD ?
I am interested in running "tpclean -L" on a SAN Media Server's SS tape
drive from the master server in a script.

Thanks Mark, that was just what I needed.

For anyone who is interested
Here is a little scriptlet to check all your tape drives and add up
the hours on each one.
Just put the NetBackup names of your SS media servers in the script.

#!/usr/bin/perl
#
# Check Tape Drives for mount time since last cleaning
# compile results from all media servers
#
# usage: ./check_tape_drives.pl
#
use strict;

my @nbmediaservs = ( "NBserv1", " NBserv2", "NBserv3" );
my %cleaninfo;
my @drvlines;
my %drvhours;
my $checkcmd = "/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmoprcmd -h ";

foreach my $svr ( @nbmediaservs ) {
$cleaninfo{$svr} = `$checkcmd $svr -clean -L`;
$cleaninfo{$svr} =~ s/^Drive.*\*\*\*\n//s;
@drvlines = split(/\n/, $cleaninfo{$svr});
foreach ( @drvlines ) {
/\s*(\S*)\s*(\S*)\s*(\S*).*$/;
$drvhours{$1} += $3;
}
}

print "Hours Mounted per Tape Drive \n";
print " \n";
foreach ( keys %drvhours ) { printf("%8s - %6.1f \n", $_, $drvhours{$_}); }
