I'm not sure if this is common for all jukeboxes, but on our
Sun/StorageTek L700e libraries, the contents of the Import/Export ports
(CAPs) do not seem to get scanned by the jukebox unless it is
rebooted/inited or a tape is deposited or withdrawn from/to a port. If
someone loads tapes or removes them, you don't see the change until the
elements are scanned.
I assume the sjirdtag command doesn't do this, but I'll have to test it
to be sure. Doing a deposit or withdraw command with nsrjb will
certainly do that, but I was hoping to find a less intrusive way to
accomplish this. Do you know of anything that will scan just these ports
and update the listing for them? One thing that occurs to me is to use
sjimm to tell it to move a cartridge from one CAP element to the same
one or to another CAP port. I'm expecting it to generate an error, but
it might at least scan first.
Thanks,
Ron Benton

yes, sure ! Use sjirdtag command.
You can also use sjimm to move tape from bin to
drive, drive to bin, ....

Subject: [Networker] Inventory of load ports?
This will probably sound like a really stupid question, but...
We're using NetWorker 7.3.2 on a Windows 2003 server, attached to an ATL
M2500 tape library. The library is configured with 10 load ports, that
don't show up in a normal library inventory (either in the NetWorker GUI
or via nsrjb commands). Is there any way to get an inventory of the
load ports before I deposit its contents into the library proper?
(Preferably via the command line; I have scripts that I use for various
library operations, and it would help to be able to acquire that
information before depositing the tapes.) (As it is, I get a list of
empty slots, then deposit the tapes, then check to see which of the
previously empty slots now have tapes in them; hardly the most efficient
method of doing this, I'm sure, but it (more or less) works.)
(I'm sure there's probably something really stupid and obvious that I've
overlooked, but so far I haven't had much luck figuring out what...)
