Brian,
Just follow and answer the jbconfig questions.
After the initial jukebox selection answer yes to the shared drive
question.
You will the be prompted for each logical path of each physical drive.
You should terminate the answers for each physical drive with a blank
line.
Your answers will be:
/dev/nst0
host1:\\.\Tape0
Host2:\\.\Tape0
...
You should use the inquire command on each host to find out the logical
drive names and correlate them by their serial number.
Except the multiple answers it is quite straight forward.
Itzik
