What about nsradmin? I haven't tried it but you should be able to extract
whatever that database knows using scripted nsradmin calls.

>From 7.3 onwards they have the jobsd and it talks to libraries via nsrlcpd
acting as an agent on storage nodes which have libraries defined on them and
on sol10 which now uses sgen to access the sji device instead of
legato-uscsi it 'owns' the device as you have seen exclusively.
So far the only solution I know is mega ugly - if you disable the jukebox
resource the daemon dies... Your script could do that - query the sji
directly, then re-enable.
It would be much nicer if there was a cli client that could talk to nsrlcpd
and ask it to give you the cap contents - you know, like perhaps some arg to
nsrjb which would list the CAP contents, maybe even a flag that just passes
through the sjirdtag output. But they didn't think of that.
One other thing to note is the -v flag to nsrjb now at least shows you
barcodes even for blank tapes. Also the new -II flag for doing a fast
inventory can tell you a lot when combined with -v.

Subject: [Networker] 7.4 on Solaris 10 - sjirdtag
Hi,
on Solaris 10, with networker 7.4.2, the sjirdtag command doesn't work
anymore. We get "device busy" on the Control Port as it appears
there is a new daemon already bound on the Control Port.
We use this sjirdtag command via the venerable jbscan shell script to
interrogate the CAP and to check for free tape drives when doing bulk
media management.
What is the equivalent in 7.4.2 and Solaris 10?
Note we have been a 7.2.1 site until last Friday so we're not 100% up on all
the twiddly bits.
NMC won't cut it as it's not scriptable and we want to be able to continue
to use our scripts, with minimal change if possible.
It's a very annoying thing when functionality is taken away, for no apparent
reason (although someone must think not) with no apparent replacement.
