I'm using EMC Networker v7.4.2 on Solaris 10 and I've just managed to configure 
my one Silo without device sharing and it's working but when I try and 
configure my 2nd Silo it completes but when you view the Silo in the GUI it is 
"enabled" but not "ready".

I used the jbconfig command to configure the Silo's but I need to mention that 
we have a high availability setup for the backup server such that it has a 
virtual name and ip address. All services are failed over manually (using a 
perl script for automation) from the one server to the other.

There are 2 office sites, JCC and RCC and 2 backup servers bsjccu01 and 
bsjccu02 with 2 storage nodes per site (JCC = bsjccu02 and bsjccu03) and (RCC = 
bsrccu02 and bsrccu03).

Here are the steps I used when configuring the tape silo... 

CLUSTERNODE:bsjccu01:# jbconfig
cannot connect to NSR service on bsjccu01.company.co.za
39078:jbconfig: RPC error: Program not registered


If on a storage node, enter the NSR server hostname? [bsjccu01.company.co.za] 
bsvitu01.company.co.za
using 'bsvitu01.company.co.za' as the NSR server

On a storage node, the hostname is a prefix to the jukebox name.
Enter the hostname to use as a prefix? [bsjccu01.company.co.za]
Using 'bsjccu01.company.co.za' as the hostname prefix


Jbconfig is running on host bsjccu01.company.co.za (SunOS 5.10),
  and is using bsvitu01.company.co.za as the NetWorker server.

         1) Configure an AlphaStor Library.
         2) Configure an Autodetected SCSI Jukebox.
         3) Configure an Autodetected NDMP SCSI Jukebox.
         4) Configure an SJI Jukebox.
         5) Configure an STL Silo.

What kind of Jukebox are you configuring? [1] 5
Supported Silo types for this system are:

        1) ACSLS Silo   (StorageTek)
        2) DAS Silo     (ADIC/EMASS/Grau)
        3) 3494 Silo    (IBM)

Enter the number corresponding to the type of silo you are installing:
Choice? 3
Installing an IBM Silo.

What name do you want to assign to this Silo device? RCCSILO
using 'rd=bsjccu01.company.co.za:RCCSILO' as Silo device name

Symbolic name of the 3494 as defined in /etc/ibmatl.conf? [libmgrc7] Libmgrrcc
Pathname of the STL library for the 3494 silo? [/usr/lib/nsr/libstlibm.so]

How many physical drives are to be configured for this silo (1 to 256)? [4] 10
The drives in this jukebox cannot be auto-configured with the available
 information. You will need to provide the path for the drives.
Is (any path of) any drive intended for NDMP use? (yes / no) [no]
Is any drive going to have more than one path defined? (yes / no) [no]

Please enter the device path information in one of the following formats:

/dev/rmt/1cbn --for local path or
host:device-path --for remote node or NDMP device(s) or
host:drive-letter:directory path --for Windows disk file

   For every device we configure, we're going to need the silo name as well
as the path name(s).  When you are done entering the system paths for a silo
device, we will ask for the corresponding silo name.  An example of the name
 we need for this type of silo is: 0012500

Drive  1, element 1
Drive path ? bsjccu01.company.co.za:/dev/rmt/34cbn
Corresponding silo name value ? 00171130

Drive  2, element 2
Drive path ? bsjccu02.company.co.za:/dev/rmt/0cbn
Corresponding silo name value ? 00182620

Drive  3, element 3

Corresponding silo name value ? 00871960

Drive  5, element 5

Corresponding silo name value ? 00871100

Corresponding silo name value ? 00872290

Drive  7, element 7
Drive path ? bsrccu02.company.co.za:/dev/rmt/20cbn
Corresponding silo name value ? 00871320

Drive  8, element 8
Drive path ? bsrccu02.company.co.za:/dev/rmt/8cbn
Corresponding silo name value ? 00872260

Drive  9, element 9
Drive path ? bsrccu03.company.co.za:/dev/rmt/39cbn
Corresponding silo name value ? 00871290

Drive 10, element 10
Drive path ? bsrccu03.company.co.za:/dev/rmt/38cbn
Corresponding silo name value ? 00872500
