First off, the only know SUPPORTED networker software for Win2008 is
networker 7.5.2.   I don't think LTO-4 is supported in 7.2, but could be
wrong on that. 

When troubleshooting libraries, it is always good to run the "inquire"
command, to make sure that you can see the library and the tape drives.


Each device should be seen with a device name (\\.\tape0 or
\\.\Tape481103 if persistent binding is used).   

If you don't see a device name like that, you most likely have a driver
issue.   

Once you can see the drives, and the control port, you would use
jbconfig to configure the library on the backup server, and the storage
node.

Subject: [Networker] Autochanger configuration issue

Hi Networkers.

 

I`m trying to configure an autochanger (HP-MSL8096 - 4 drives LTO4) on a
storage node but it persists in staying unusable.

 

My scenario:

 

Server: Windows 2003 - Networker 7.2

Storage node: Windows 2008 (I`ve already tried some different versions,
older and newer)

 

1)     Configured by the client using jbconfig (used LTO3 option cause
there is not LTO4 option). Server can see the autochanger defined but it
doesn`t work. When I run any command by the client (e.g. nsrjb -s
<server> -HE) get the msg: nsrjb: RAP error: No jukeboxes are currently
usable.

 

2)     Trying the same command by the server: nsrjb -j <jukebox name>
-HE get the error msg: nsrjb: Unable to open SJI device [email protected].
Check device, connections and drivers.

nsrjb: SYSTEM error: No such file or directory. All the SCSI
configurations were checked and are OK.

 

3)     Trying to configure the device by the server using NetWorker
Configuration Wizard: in the third step, when server try to connect to
the storage node get the error: Can`t connect to RPC server on <storage
node name>

 

 

So, is it possible this configuration ?

Any suggestions will be very appreciated.

 

Tks in advance.
