hi there,

i have set up a storage node these days to redirect cloning to this
machine, which is physically located in another data centre.

I'm a bit confused about how to control and check the storage node.

The system is configured on the master server (r2d2) as a storage
node (c3po) with a ADIC "camping fridge" (Scalar 100 jukebox)
providing three DLT8000 tape drives.

According to nsr_storage_node(5) the name is rd=c3po:ADIC, but i
seem to be unable to contact it:

[root@r2d2 root]# nsrjb -j ADIC -C
nsrjb: error, No jukebox named `ADIC'
[root@r2d2 root]# nsrjb -j c3po:ADIC -C
nsrjb: error, No jukebox named `c3po:ADIC'
[root@r2d2 root]# nsrjb -j rd=c3po:ADIC -C
nsrjb: error, No jukebox named `rd=c3po:ADIC'
[root@r2d2 root]#

If i look via the nwadmin gui, i see under [media/jukeboxes] menu
the entry for 'rd=c3po:ADIC' listed, and i also can work with the
jukebox and its drives via the GUI.

So, what am i doing wrong? I thought that all tasks can be done from
the master server, and there is no need to login to the storage node.


With kind regards,
