Re: [Networker] Jukebox inventory

Typically I use a single drive.  i.e. 

nsrjb -I -j"silo name here" -S "slot number or range 1-618 for example" -f 
/dev/rmt/0cbn



This way I can select a drive that is not in use, and I wont use all 20 
drives to do an inventory and lock down the silo from doing any backups. 
As for inventorying a tape in use....  I have never seen this the 
NetWorker sees it as a -* in the mount list, until you run an inventory on 
it.

Good morning,
Just want to make sure if this is what it is really supposed to be or just 
in our environment.


1. When I run 'inventory' using the GUI, it tries to unload the tape 
mounted in the drive before it starts the process.
2 During inventory, if a tape is loaded in one of the drives, the 
inventory will pause or stop and a pop up screen will appear to notify 
that a tape is loaded and you have hit 'O.K.' to close the pop window and 
it is only then the inventory will continue.
3. Tried to use the command line 'nsrjb -Iv', still it's trying to unload 
tapes from the drives, so if there is a backup process going on and you 
loaded a tape for a file restore, you cannot get that tape inventoried 
because it cannot eject the tape which is currently busy writing.
Any comment or suggestion is appreciated.


Environment: Red Hat ES3 O/S, Networker server v7.1.3
Hardware: ADIC Scalar 100 with 2x LTO-2 drives
