Looks like I have to select the 'Operation response' (yes, no, or prompt); otherwise, it defaults to 'yes'. Guess if I check it to a value of 'prompt' then it will always prompt before labeling and will remain that way until someone changes it and not just for that one label operation? Guess this will not impair the jukebox from its normal operations? Seems odd that the default is 'Yes'. Also, it would appear that once I select a value, I can't uncheck all of them, unless I run nsradmin and set the value to null? Maybe moot since default (everything unchecked) is 'yes' anyway.

Guess I answered my own question.

I was re-labeling two tapes using the jukebox window (details turned on) under nwadmin wherein I selected 'Label' for the operation, I added my operation slots '62'-63', and then I picked my volume pool, and hit 'Apply'. I did not specify the device since I wanted to label two tapes using two devices. I don't recall NetWorker ever asking me if I wanted to overwrite the previous labels, and those tapes had been previously labeled, but did not contain any data. I know if I label from the command line using nsrjb it will prompt you, and it always does so when choosing a specific device and doing it from the main nwadmin window. Seems scary that it didn't ask me when using the jukebox window. What if I had picked th wrong slots!

We're running 6.1.1 on Solaris. Anyone seen this before or know a way to correct that?

Thanks.
