=head1 DESCRIPTION The B command displays which operation, if any, the indicated Tape Coordinator is currently executing. =head1 OPTIONS =over 4 =item B<-portoffset> > Specifies the port offset number of the Tape Coordinator for which to report the status. =item B<-localauth> Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local F file. The B command interpreter presents it to the Backup Server, Volume Server and VL Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the B<-cell> argument. For more details, see L. =item B<-cell> > Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L. =item B<-help> Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored. =back =head1 OUTPUT The following message indicates that the Tape Coordinator is not currently performing an operation: Tape coordinator is idle Otherwise, the output includes a message of the following format for each running or pending operation: Task : : where =over 4 =item Is a task identification number assigned by the Tape Coordinator. It begins with the Tape Coordinator's port offset number. =item Identifies the operation the Tape Coordinator is performing, which is initiated by the indicated command: =over 4 =item Dump The B command. =item Restore The B, B, or B commands. =item Labeltape The B command. =item Scantape The B command. =item SaveDb The B command. =item RestoreDb The B command. =back =item Indicates the job's current status in one of the following messages. =over 4 =item I Kbytes transferred, volume I For a running dump operation, indicates the number of kilobytes copied to tape or a backup data file so far, and the volume currently being dumped. =item I Kbytes, restore.volume For a running restore operation, indicates the number of kilobytes copied into AFS from a tape or a backup data file so far. =item [abort requested] The B command was issued, but the termination signal has yet to reach the Tape Coordinator. =item [abort sent] The operation is canceled by the B command. Once the Backup System removes an operation from the queue or stops it from running, it no longer appears at all in the output from the command. =item [butc contact lost] The B command interpreter cannot reach the Tape Coordinator. The message can mean either that the Tape Coordinator handling the operation was terminated or failed while the operation was running, or that the connection to the Tape Coordinator timed out. =item [done] The Tape Coordinator has finished the operation. =item [drive wait] The operation is waiting for the specified tape drive to become free. =item [operator wait] The Tape Coordinator is waiting for the backup operator to insert a tape in the drive. =back =back If the Tape Coordinator is communicating with an XBSA server (a third-party backup utility that implements the Open Group's Backup Service API [XBSA]), the following message appears last in the output: Tape coordinator where is the name of the XBSA-compliant program. =head1 EXAMPLES The following example shows that the Tape Coordinator with port offset 4 has so far dumped about 1.5 MB of data for the current dump operation, and is currently dumping the volume named C: % backup status -portoffset 4 Task 4001: Dump: 1520 Kbytes transferred, volume user.pat.backup =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED The issuer must be listed in the F file on every machine where the Backup Server is running, or must be logged onto a server machine as the local superuser C if the B<-localauth> flag is included. =head1 SEE ALSO L, L =head1 COPYRIGHT IBM Corporation 2000.
