[Networker] multiple problems with ADIC Scalar 100 / DLT 448

hi there,

The same procedure as every year - aeh, wrong movie - once again
massive problems with a jukebox here.

I recently took over an ADIC Scalar 100 jukebox, with 3 Quantum
DLT8000 drives and 50 media slots.
I'm running it as a 'DLT 448' as found in this list's archive,
because the jukebox wasn't running at all with the default name.

Well, i'm now having a lot of problems using this system. When
starting a reset (nsrjb -vH), the output lists:

setting verbosity level to `1'

box_display: `' for drive `rd=c3po:/dev/nst0'
box_display: `' for drive `rd=c3po:/dev/nst1'
box_display: `' for drive `rd=c3po:/dev/nst2'

This sounds ok, as long as you don't look into the box. There's
still one tape left in drive nst0, which won't come out.

With the tool /etc/LGTOuscsi/sjirdtag i get this:

Tag Data for [email protected], Element Type DATA TRANSPORT:
        Elem[001]: tag_val=0 pres_val=0 med_pres=1 med_side=0
        Elem[002]: tag_val=0 pres_val=1 med_pres=0 med_side=0
        Elem[003]: tag_val=0 pres_val=1 med_pres=0 med_side=0

This means, that there is an unknown media present in Elem[001] e.g.
nst0 ... which is correct, if i open the box and look into it, i can
see the tape PNR471 in the drive.
How can NetWorker oversee this?

And a second problem:

The ADIC has 10 slots for import/export in its dropzone. But i don't
manage to use them all, because the jukebox does just present the
above five slots.

sjirdtag means:

Tag Data for [email protected], Element Type IMPORT/EXPORT:
        Elem[001]: tag_val=0 pres_val=1 inp_enab=1 exp_enab=1 access=1 full=0 
imp_exp=1
        Elem[002]: tag_val=0 pres_val=1 inp_enab=1 exp_enab=1 access=1 full=0 
imp_exp=1
        Elem[003]: tag_val=0 pres_val=1 inp_enab=1 exp_enab=1 access=1 full=0 
imp_exp=1
        Elem[004]: tag_val=0 pres_val=1 inp_enab=1 exp_enab=1 access=1 full=0 
imp_exp=1
        Elem[005]: tag_val=0 pres_val=1 inp_enab=1 exp_enab=1 access=1 full=0 
imp_exp=1
        Elem[006]: tag_val=0 pres_val=0 inp_enab=1 exp_enab=1 access=0 full=0 
imp_exp=0
        Elem[007]: tag_val=0 pres_val=0 inp_enab=1 exp_enab=1 access=0 full=0 
imp_exp=0
        Elem[008]: tag_val=0 pres_val=0 inp_enab=1 exp_enab=1 access=0 full=0 
imp_exp=0
        Elem[009]: tag_val=0 pres_val=0 inp_enab=1 exp_enab=1 access=0 full=0 
imp_exp=0
        Elem[010]: tag_val=0 pres_val=0 inp_enab=1 exp_enab=1 access=0 full=0 
imp_exp=0

So the jukebox has knowledge about them, and does recognize them
correctly, but doesn't use it as imp_exp - anyone an idea how to fix
that?


With kind regards,
