We have networker 7.3.2 on solaris 9.  In the next couple of weeks we are 
adding two more drives and more slots.  In Networker 7.2 you had to delete the 
juke box and re-configure it using jbconfig.  Is this the same in Networker 
7.3.2 or can we use the GUI?

There is no supported way to do this other than deleting your jukebox and re-creating it.

At NetWorker 7.2.x and below it was possible to use nsradmin to update several fields in the jukebox config in order to add slots and drives. This worked but was unsupported, and it was easy to corrupt your jukebox config beyond repair.

This no longer works at 7.3.x and above. It is still possible by using nsradmin directly on the nsrdb database but you have to shut NetWorker down first, and it is still unsupported.

If your jukebox is relatively simple it will be easier and quicker to delete it and re-add it.
