Re: [Networker] Library Sharing
2008-09-25 23:19:42
Hi Pete,
I have exactly your situation. I have the networker server which
controls the robotics and 14 tape drives spread across 7 storage nodes.
I do not have DDS. This is a standard jukebox config. When you are
running jbconfig, you just have to tell networker the path to the
drive. If the drive is /dev/nst0 on storagenodea.domain then when
prompted for that drive (jbconfig can't see the devices on the storage
node, so you have to type it in by hand) you enter
storagenodea.domain:/dev/nst0 and all is great.

Hi All,
I've been trying to find out if Library Sharing and DDS are the same
thing. The doco is patchy (an understatement) but seems to indicate they are
not.
Specifically I'm considering setting up a (new) storage node in our datazone and
dedicating a tape drive or 2 from our library to it. I'm not interested in
sharing the drive with other storage nodes or the networker server - it will be
kept busy enough. So can I do this ? and will the networker server (which
controls the robot) still be able to change tapes for the drives dedicated to
the new storage node ?
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Pete.
