Adding new tape drives to jukebox

[mpezeur]

Can you add additional tape drives to a jukebox within Networker without having to run jbconfig again ? We've installed two additional LTO drives and was wondering if Networker (7.3) allows for adding new drives without having to re-discover the whole jukebox.

yes, look at the man page of jbedit command !

just run "jbedit -s nsrsvr -ao" and it will ask you the necessary questions to perform this.

what's the 'element address'?

This refers to the scsi bus address of the physical device.
