Re: [Networker] nsrjb -R not recycling volume in 7.4.3?

Bruce,
7.4.3 includes a fix LGTsc16781 which changed the way -R works....
that may be the cause of your problem. (As the culprit that complained
and got EMC to change the way -R works.... sorry).
For what you are doing, why are you using -R? Since NetWorker doesn't
already know what the volume label is, it doesn't know what media pool
it is in and therefore, doesn't know what label template to use to label
the tape...
Now, the way my environment works, when I deposit tapes into my
library, the get scanned and inventoried automatically -- so if the tape
is in NetWorkers mediadb -- then they immediately show up in the jukebox
resource correctly. How are you putting these tapes back into your
library? Are you using the library I/O Ports or physically putting them
into slots yourself?
If you are using the I/O ports -- NetWorker should be figuring out
what the volume is automatically. If you are putting the tapes into
slots in the library -- you will need to use the nsrjb -II (quick
Inventory) to have it realize the volume -- Then I think your nsrjb -RYL
command should work again.

Could be that your tape mapping is all wrong...
I would double check that.
For that I would need more information...how do I check the mapping? I
see all my tapes fine in the media list, and all barcodes match the
volume names.
Note that this exact configuration worked in Networker 7.4.1 perfectly
fine - old tapes added back to the library would still appear as
volume name "-*" but the barcode was listed, until I did some
operation which caused it to verify the tape label (either a Networker
inventory or label operation). In 7.4.1 a label/recycle operation
worked fine for this, it would recycle the tape regardless. In 7.4.3
it rejects the operation (but since it did verify the label, the
volume name is updated in the inventory)
