Re: [Networker] Importing tapes.

To force networker to use barcode scan in way of volume mount,
before launching the inventory, update (using mmlocate) volume
records in media db with SILO name (check name from a tape that
is already loaded in the silo)
Then, nsrjb -I the lib would only scan barcodes.

Subject: Re: [Networker] Importing tapes.

Finally figured it out.
On backup server i did

nsrjb -a -T S0000 -d (door opened and i put 40 tapes in cap acsls
imported all the tapes but networker didnt see them.

on acsls server i did the following to get the list of tapes acsls sees.
su acsss "/export/home/ACSSS/bin/volrpt -d" | awk '{print $1}'.
>file1.dat

Got a list of networker tapes from nsrjb >file2.dat

Ran sdiff on both file1.dat and file2.dat and ran a script that added
differences to networker with the nsrjb -a command.

Now all i have to do is figure out how to make the server do a barcode
inventry instead of a mount all the tapes into the drives.

Its all in a script that is below


#!/bin/ksh

#Function to get all of ACSLS tapes
function ACSLS_VOLS {
  /usr/local/bin/ssh parnellpk \
  "su acsss /export/home/ACSSS/bin/volrpt -d -f
/export/home/ACSSS/data/external/volrpt/micko.volrpt" |\
  grep -v CLN | awk '{print $1}' | grep -v ^$
}

#Function to get all of nsrjb tapes
function NSRJB_VOLS {

  nsrjb >/tmp/nsrjb.out
  cat /tmp/nsrjb.out |egrep -v "drive|rd|dev|media data|slot|Juke" | \
  sed  -f /var/tmp/mmg/nsrjb.sed | grep '*' | awk '{print $3}'
>/tmp/foop.$$

  cat /tmp/nsrjb.out |egrep -v "drive|rd|dev|media data|slot|Juke" | \
  sed  -f /var/tmp/mmg/nsrjb.sed | grep -v '*' | awk '{print $4}'
>>/tmp/foop.$$

  cat /tmp/foop.$$ | sort -u | grep -v ^$

  rm /tmp/foop.$$
}

#Create diff files
  NSRJB_VOLS >/tmp/diff_nsrjb
  ACSLS_VOLS >/tmp/diff_acsls

#Diff the files and list the tapes Networker has and Not in ACSLS.
  echo "in JB and not ACSLS"
  sdiff /tmp/diff_nsrjb /tmp/diff_acsls | egrep "<" | awk '{print $1}'

#Diff the files and list the tapes ACSLS has and Not in Networker.
  echo "in ACSLS and not JB"
  sdiff /tmp/diff_nsrjb /tmp/diff_acsls | egrep ">"  | awk '{print
"nsrjb -a -T "$2}'
