[Networker] Move tapes offsite & autochanger
2008-10-13 11:37:45
My clone operation ran for the first time over the weekend. Now I want to take
the tape out of my Quantum Scalar 50 library and move offsite. What is the
process for taking a tape out of the autochanger and making NetWorker aware of
the change? I did the following procedure, but ran into some issues along the
way:
1.) Marked the tape full with "nsrjb -o full {barcode}
2.) Updated the location field with NW Admin Console
3.) Brought tape library offline, and pulled tape
4.) Inserted new volume into library
When I brought my library back online, I noticed the status of the library
within the Admin console didn't reflect pulling the tape. So I manually tried
to inventory that slot.. which didn't pickup the change (very concerning). So
I issued a "reset" command to the library, which finally worked. Then I
relabeled the new tape. I went to the volumes tree under media (NW Admin
Console) and noticed the location field didn't retain the information. I
update this information once again.
What is wrong with this process?
Furthermore, I tried to use the offsite flag with the command "nsrmm - o
offsite -v {barcode}" I didn't notice this actually doing anything to the
volume... nothing I could query or see for that fact. What does this do, if
anything? Should I use this in my offsite procedure?
BTW: I don't have any load/unload ports on my Scalar.
