In regard to: [Networker] i2k library failed - no maintenance - how to...:

Using Legato 7.4 - we have a adic i2k library that is out of maintenance
and the robotics failed.  i really need to be able to restore data to a
stand-alone drive -- does anyone know how to configure this so that i
can do a restore  to a standalone drive.  We don't want to pay for parts
and labor as we have just started to backup to disk anyway - - but we
have users that need restores from prior date.  Do I need to remove the
current library and jbconfig the new standalone on the networker server?

You probably don't need to remove the current library, but it might work
better if you do.  If NetWorker believes it can still control the robot,
you're likely to get errors and general complaining from NetWorker when
it tries and fails.

As far as jbconfig -- it's been years and years since I've configured
a standalone drive, but I don't think you typically use jbconfig to
configure a standalone drive.

My advice would be to try remove just the jukebox using the GUI, as this
will likely leave behind the devices themselves.

I am trying to figure out a different way as we have 800 tapes in that
library and I don't want to manually look for every tape each time a
restore request comes in until the retention is over.

Then preserve your jukebox resource file before you remove your jukebox.
It has the current inventory.  Assuming a UNIX/Linux Networker server,
you can find the resource file somewhere under your nsrdb directory:

        cd /nsr/res/nsrdb
        find . -type f -exec egrep -i 'jukebox device: Yes' {} /dev/null \;

Make a copy of that file (you can ignore any file under the dbg directory)
and parse out the contents of the "volumes" attribute.  That will allow
you to track where all your volumes are.
