Greetings,
I used to have a "cheat sheet" where I had the mappings written down. The only
caution I have is to check on tapes that are in the silo that have been
deallocated from Networker. One of the people that used to work for me used to
deallocate the tapes and not remove them from the jukebox, then have no idea
where they were when a restore needed to be done. I used to run a simple script
that found "old" tapes.
Regards,
Guy Novello

Subject: [Networker] setup for networker w/ACSLS
environment: Sun V490, Solaris 10, Networker 7.2.2/(the December
jumbo patch from the web site). tape library is a Storagetek L8500
with 3 LTO 3 drives, controlled from ACSLS 7.1 on a Sun V240 running
Solaris 10.
this represents a 'forklift' upgrade of our old system; all the
hardware and software is being upgraded. i'm treating this as a new
install, especially since there are concepts (ACSLS, for example) that
are completely new to me.
sun/storagetek installed ACSLS on its machine last month. last week
i installed networker on the v490. the documentation on how to get
networker to talk to ACSLS is a little, um, sketchy, but i managed to
convince myself that i should do:
CSI_HOSTNAME=acsls01; export CSI_HOSTNAME
SSI_HOSTNAME=backup01; export SSI_HOSTNAME
/usr/sbin/mini_el &
/usr/sbin/ssi &
and then configure the library with jbconfig. this was reasonably
successful; i received no errors. and i was able to allocate a tape
via:
nsrjb -a -T 100000
and even label it via:
nsrjb -v -L -T 100000
repeat a few more times and i managed to get the following out
of nsrjb:
Jukebox stk0:
slot volume pool barcode volume id recyclable
1: 100000 Default 100000 4114150104 no
2: 100001 Default 100001 4097373200 no
3: 100002 Default 100002 4080596587 no
4: 100003 Default 100003 4063819711 no
5: 100004 Default 100004 4047101402 no
6: 100005 Default 100005 4030326422 no
7: 100006 Default 100006 4013549547 no
drive 1 (/dev/rmt/0cbn) slot :
drive 2 (/dev/rmt/1cbn) slot 2: 100001 (mounted)
drive 3 (/dev/rmt/2cbn) slot :
i was feeling positively ecstatic at having this much luck
and decided to try a backup. i created a group for the server
to back itself up in and kicked the group off.
ultimately, it seemed to work fine. i've done a few tests and so far
things look fine; the only problems encountered having been the
mapping between the unix device names (/dev/rmt/0cbn) and the
StorageTek ones (0, 3, 1, 0).
i'm in the process of loading in my clients from the old server,
running more tests and getting license keys moved to the new
system. but my question is:
is there anything glaringly obvious that i'm missing? are there
any upcoming 'gotchas' that i should know about?
thanks in advance.
