Hi

Usually this kind of issues can be fixed with a jukebox reset:

nsrjb -HE

With this Networker will attempt to empty all drives, and in the process of doing this, it usually discovers, that the drive is actually empty. Then it can update the jukebox status in networker.

Kind regards,
Jens

Folks,



I have a 7.2 installation on Windows 2000.  Recently, I had to kill a
save initiated from the command line and force the drive to release the
tape from the hardware - Networker thought the drive will still in use
and would not release the tape.  I have restarted Networker but since
the incident attempts to access the drive are hanging/failing.  Is it
possible there is a SCSI reserve on the drive causing an issue? How can
I check for and release a reservation in 7.2 on Windows 2000?



Regards,
