I wish I could read Hrvoje's response, but ...
1. I don't think you can use the -H option for a single drive.
2. Maybe Solaris behaves better than Windows, but it's been my experience
(since 6.1.3) that a hung nsrjb process will block any successive nsrjb
commands. Try to find the "nsrjb -l ..." process that was trying to mount
the volume and kill it.
3. In an AlphaStor environment, the "nsrjb -H" command doesn't actually
reset the jukebox, just tries to re-sync slot status with AlphaStor.
Use "nsrjb -HHv" to get NetWorker to realize that the drives have been
unloaded. Unfortunately, this will interrupt any other backups in progress.
4. Stopping and re-starting NetWorker services may have the same effect,
but you shouldn't have to delete and re-create the device.
