Re: [Networker] Jukebox license problem when truing to Unmount tape

Deleting the jukebox won't affect the tapes and data because that information 
is stored in a DB that's not connected to the JB.  I think you'll need to 
re-inventory after recreating the JB.  If you're still worried about it unload 
all of the tapes before deleting the JB.

Hi Tim,

You´re right...the NW Server still thinks the jukebox has 45 slots, although 
the TL-4000 is already configured with only 40 Active Slots.

I am new to NW, so I don´t know how to use this JBEDIT command...my question 
is: if I delete and recreate the jukebox, what happens with all the tapes and 
all data in it? I cannot afford to loose the data on these tapes....not an 
option.

Or...what would be the JBEDIT syntax to just reconfigure NW to see only the 40 
slots ? 

Mario

In regard to: Re: [Networker] Jukebox license problem when truing to...:

There's your problem.  You have two licenses that work for 2 jukeboxes,
each jukebox having anywhere from 1 to 40 slots.  Your TL-4000 has too
many slots to be covered by a Networker 40 slot license.

You potentially have two options:

- buy a new license that covers a larger number of slots (e.g. 64, or
  if you know you'll be expanding, larger yet).  You *might* be able to
  trade in one of your 40 slot licenses and just pay the difference +
  some additional fee -- I don't know about that, we've never tried it,
  but it's worth asking about.

- if your jukebox supports it configure the jukebox so that at least 4
  of the slots are "dead", so that the jukebox reports a smaller number
  of slots to the host operating system.

  If you reconfigure your jukebox so it reports fewer slots, you will
  also need to reconfigure networker so that it realizes the jukebox
  has shrunk.  The easiest way to do this is by deleting the jukebox
  and recreating it, but you might be able to do it using the jbedit
  tool.
