Legato Command Line

[Hiyahoo]

Very stupid question:

I'm using HP SureStore DLT717 backup device, I need to label the tape in GUI.

May I ask you which command line I can use?

You can use this command to label a tape with defalut label:

nsrjb -I -S <x>

where <x> is the slot number.

(See options in Networker Command Reference: nsrjb.pdf)

Dear Speculos,

How about DLT70? It is not a autoloader. Many thanks.

.. and nsrjb is not a GUI program.

- Insert a media in your device.
- In NetWorker Administrator (nwadmin), mark your device
- then select the pool you need the media for.
- Check "Mount after labeleing"
- Click OK.

More infos to be found in the NetWorker Administrator Guide.

you use nsrjb -L if you are labeling a tape in a jukebox.

However, if you just have a standalone tape drive, you use the nsrmm command as follows:

nsrmm -l -m -f (drive name) -b (pool) (volume name)

where: -l = label
-m = mount after labeling
-f = specifies the device. Only needed if you have more than one drive
-b = pool the volume will belong to. Defaults to Default pool


For example:

nsrmm -l -m -f \\.\Tape0 Default.001

will label and mount a tape that was previously loaded into the drive \\.\Tape0, and give it a volume label Default.001, and it will be part of the Default pool.
