Re: [Networker] Inventory of load ports?

As well as the sji commands which let you see whats in the inlet ports
there is a trick I use in my scripts where I run the depoist operation
verbosely, eg:   'nsrjb -dv'    the verbose output will tell you which
slot each tape gets put into...

yes, sure ! Use sjirdtag command.
You can also use sjimm to move tape from bin to drive, drive to bin,

Subject: [Networker] Inventory of load ports?

This will probably sound like a really stupid question, but...

We're using NetWorker 7.3.2 on a Windows 2003 server, attached to an ATL
M2500 tape library.  The library is configured with 10 load ports, that
don't show up in a normal library inventory (either in the NetWorker GUI
or via nsrjb commands).  Is there any way to get an inventory of the
load ports before I deposit its contents into the library proper?
(Preferably via the command line; I have scripts that I use for various
library operations, and it would help to be able to acquire that
information before depositing the tapes.)  (As it is, I get a list of
empty slots, then deposit the tapes, then check to see which of the
previously empty slots now have tapes in them; hardly the most efficient
method of doing this, I'm sure, but it (more or less) works.)

(I'm sure there's probably something really stupid and obvious that I've
overlooked, but so far I haven't had much luck figuring out what...)
