try a sjirdtag device_name_from_inquire which will display slot contents
from jb perspective outside of legato.  Do you get a jb out of sync error
message when you notice jb does not have contents.

Subject: [Networker] FW: Jukebox losses Inventory information


> Good Day ,
> This is my first post to the list
> I have a backup server a Sun E450 running Solaris 6. Networker V
> 6.1.1. with one ATL 7100 Tape Library (64 slots) with 4 DLT Tape
> drives
>
> The legato server frequently looses inventory of tapes in the jukebox.
> When I load tapes and run an inventory, if I execute nsrjb or view the
> contents of the jukebox using the nwadmin interface I see all the
> tapes I expect to see in the box.
>
> A few hours latter if I execute nsrjb again or view the contents of

> The result is that during backups the server is always requesting for
> writable taps whilst all required tapes are already loaded.
>
> So far I have done the following:
> Reseat the SCSI cables and terminators at the tape library and the
> server.
> Deleted all the tape drives and the jukebox. Removed nsrjb.res and
> recreated the Tape Library and jukebox using jbconfig

> The Library inventory was stable for 2 Days and then the problem
