In networker 7.1.2 for solaris, TapeAlert CleanNow flagging of drives worked just fine. For those of you who wonder what that is, its a flag that is sent by the drive, via the CDI interface, and that tells networker that the drive needs cleaning. It says roughly "TapeAlert CleanNow flag has been posted for drive /dev/rmt/0cbn", and sets the networker flag "clean now" to yes.

When we upgraded to 7.1.3, this stopped working altogether. No messages in daemon.log, and drives haven't been flagged for cleaning since. However, the drives still post this information, since its visible in the OS. I still see the associated messages in the /var/adm/messages file. That leads me to believe that networker has changed to ignore or not to see such messages at all in 7.1.3 .

Has anyone else encountered this lately? Any clues of why this isn't working anymore? The upgrade was contudcted without any configuration changes, except that we had to run "lus_add_fp_devs" again.

Am I the only one running in to "simple" problems like this often with this product? :P
