The difference between this and earlier versions is that the nsrlcpd
locks the autochanger device, so you need to stop the nsrlcpd (by
disabling the jukebox in NetWorker) before you can run commands such as
sjirdtag and sjimm. It's a bit of a hassle, but it's not an
insurmountable problem.


Interesting! I'm using 7.4.3 (build 569) on Solaris 9 with a Qualstar XLS and I do not have any problems running the sji commands while NetWorker has the jukebox enabled (I do make it a habit of NOT doing anything via the sji commands that will confuse NW though).

sjirdtag works perfectly fine on Solaris 9.   That is the L700 we don't
have the issue with. We have a second L700 on another site with Solaris 10 and sjirdtag doesn't work with nsr running.

I know we can stop Legato to gain access to the command, but that is unacceptable in our environment and it is a procedure you would think to normally consider routine when using enterprise level hardware and software!

In any case, I had given up on this problem a few months ago, but there really is a need to be able to address this as it is functionality that people have become dependant on (not just me, I hope)....
