If Autoclean is disabled, networker does not
take care of "available slot" (nor cleaning slot) field,
it just refer to "amount of slot", 1-30 in your case.
It's documented within nsr_jukebox man page :
cleaning slots (read/write, list of numbers)
This attribute designates a range of slots in the jukebox that has
been set aside for cleaning cartridges. A range may be a single
slot
number or a pair of slot numbers separated by a dash. If a pair of
slot numbers is given, the first number of the pair must be less
than
or equal to the second. Only one range of slots may be set aside
for
> cleaning cartridges. If auto clean is set to no, the value of
clean-
> ing slots is ignored and these slots may contain regular volumes.
When auto clean is set to yes, the range of slots specified for
this
attribute are assumed to contain cleaning cartridges, and the range
of
slots specified by available slots and this attribute must not
over-
lap.
You cannot force 1-29 in way of 1-30 for physical slots
because amount of slot range is gathered from
library's robotic controller.
It's a problem I already faced and solved quite simply : for each
jukebox,
. Enable NetWorker jukebox auto cleaning to take care of cleaning slot
range,
. Empty for each device of your lib the cleaning interval field.
Being empty, devices will never be cleaned
by networker.
Doing so, Networker will take available slot
range into account and inventorying your lib, it will perform
slots 1-29 from 1-30 physical slots.
. Additionally, you can use "nsrjb -U 0 -S 30" to have cleaning
tape's barcode reported within nsrjb's inventory.
I have 4 libs configured such a way and working like a charm
with 613/614

Subject: [Networker] Changing available slots?
I changed the available slots on our ATL P1000 tape library (nwadmin
GUI) from 1-30 to 1-29. The reason is because I have set up the 'Auto
clean' feature on the actual library itself and will not be using
NetWorker's cleaning functionality. I have a cleaning cartridge in slot
30, and the library knows about it because it has a bar code (CLN###)
and I reinventoried the tapes on the library. However, I still see that
I have 30 slots when I look at the mount window in nwadmin, AND if I
inventory slot 30, instead of getting an error, as I would have
expected, it actually inventoried that tape, so it ended up loading the
cleaner tape! How do I get NetWorker to see that slot 30 is no longer in
the range? Am I gonna have to delete and re-run jbconfig? I don't wanna
tell it that is has 29 physical slots, I just want it to realize that it
only has 29 of those 30 available.
I'm thinking that I might have to enable 'Auto clean' on NetWorker, set
the cleaning slot value and then disable 'Auto clean', and maybe at that
point it will obey?
I changed the slots on our STK library from 1-81 to 1-79 (last 2 slots
for cleaning), andset up 'Auto clean' on that library, and NetWorker
obeys the new slot range there. If I tried to inventory anything in
80-81, it gave me an error, so it worked there. Hmm ...
We're running 6.1.1
