I have a library that is doing the same thing to me.  I just had to run
jbconfig to add NDMP support, and now an nsrjb -I is in the process of
loading every single tape in the library into the tape drives.  The
tapes were all labeled previously, they are all barcoded, and the
library is configured to match barcodes.

Hi Yura,

Yes, that is correct.  As suggested on this list, Iv'e tried 'nsrjb -j <Name>
-I' and still loaded each tape (previously labeled) into the drives.

Hi All,

We've got an L180, 6.1.3, and Solaris 8.  All tapes are barcoded and the tape
label == barcode.  When we add tapes via the CAP, we have to do 'nsrjb -j
L180-1 -IEv' to re-inventory the slot that were just filled.  Is there any way
around this so that NW can just use the barcodes and not have to physically
load/unload each tape that was added via the CAP?

I was under impression that Networker loads the tape that is being
inventoried only in case if the barcode is not in the media database
yet. Are you saying all the tapes that you add were labeled before ?

Thanks,
