Basic commands

[dellco]

Hi,
We occasionaly have to work on libraries and tape drives that are connected to Solaris and NT/2k systems, running Networker.
We would like to be able to run a few basic library/drive exercises from a command line to verify that the hardware is working correctly ie: mount/dimounts.
Could anyone help with a basic crib sheet of commands that we could use.

TIA
dellco

"sjimm" for loading and unloading tapes directly in the autochanger. No networker daemons are needed to do so.

usage:
loading: sjimm <b.t.l of autochanger> slot x drive x

this loads a tape from slot xx into drive xx

for unloading use: sjimm <b.t.l> drive x slot x

<b.t.l> means bus target and lun of device

you an see the b.t.l order of the devices with &quot;inquire&quot;

Thanks for your help guys. These will come in very handy.

What do you mean by <b.t.l of autochanger>

sjimm <b.t.l of autochanger> slot x drive x

Thanks.

b.t.l. = bus.target.lun = physical SCSI address.

Run inquire to get a list of installed SCSI devices.
