the '-99999' error is legato's way of saying "there's a tape in my drive and I
don't know where it belongs". Our process is to open the GUI -> Media ->
Jukebox and Media -> Drives, change drive state "Enabled = No", view Details on
the Jukebox and go down to the 3 pack of "Loaded Volume", "Loaded bar code",
"Loaded slots". Find the tape in questions (probably marked by a dash (-) in
volume/barcode and -99999 as slot). Highlight those values, erase them and hit
the "change" button, to cause those 3 fields to now be blank. Then, under
Drives, "Enabled=Yes" and mount a different tape to that device. If legato was
only confused, it should eject the tape and put it back to it's original slot.
If the tape is actually stuck, you will get the read i/o error again and the
-99999 will be back. That will probably require a hands-on removal of the tape
from the drive.

Subject: [Networker] Strange error during inventory
Hi,
I receive the following error when attempting to inventory any tape in
drive 4 of our tape library:
cannot find slot `-99999' in operation slots list
Never seen this one before. Yes, there is a tape in the slot. Doesn't
matter which slot I select, though. Always same error when using this
device.
The affected device is /dev/nst4. I see the following in the devices
window:
rd=storage_node_server_name:/dev/nst5(J)LTO Ultr (unmounted) read open
error, Invalid argument
We're running 6.1.1 on Solaris 2.8 on primary server. The affected
library is a Storagetek L80 with 79 available slots, 4 LTO drives. It's
attached to a storage node server also running 6.1.1 but under Linux.
There are no tapes in the drives. I power cycled the tape library and
rebooted the storage node server. When I run /etc/LGTOuscsi/inquire,
everything shows up just fine, but again, same problem when attempting
to inventory anything in that device. It's been like this now for
several days.
Any ideas of what to do?
This tape library has never been happy with the nsrjb -H reset command.
Doing this just hangs it.
Thanks.
George
