That's kind of odd, we don't lose the location on reboot....

We were having a lot of dodgyness setting the location to 'Offsite' when
we were ejecting with 7.1.2 - It would often just fail to work, and
seemed to take a long time so I stopped trying to set it...

Note also that nsrjb overwrites the location whenever a tape is
deposited or withdrawn from a jukebox, so I'm not all that sure setting
location to L700 is ever an appropriate thing to do.

The way it works now for us is either it has a jukebox name, or it's
blank. And blank means 'Offsite', further information about tape
location goes into another database outside legato....

Subject: [Networker] Volume Location disappears after reboot

Hi there,

Whenever I run (from my cap_eject script):

/usr/sbin/mmlocate -u -n $vols 'Media Vault'


It sets the Location very nicely for output when I run the appropriate
commands.  It also works nicely in nwadmin when in the Volumes Dialogue
Box and shows my Location for a Volume as either "L700" or "Media
Vault".

Until!   Until I restart Legato, that is.    Then all references
to "Media Vault" are replaced by a blank entry and the reference is not
searchable via command line.

Can anyone please tell me how to fix this?

The problem was present in 6.1.3 and older and still present in 7.2.1.

Please help!
