questions about using nsrjb

[goomba77]

I'm looking to use nsrjb -x -T from the networker server to remove a tape on a storage node without having to ssh. So using the following command I get an error:

nsrjb -x -j 'rd=abc:3494lib1' -s xyz-T O02059
nsrjb: error, No jukebox named `rd=abc:3494lib1'

Anybody have any recommendations?

Thanks.

The error message is correct. Why - because you obviously talk to a device, not to a jukebox. So it can not be found.

How would I go about finding the Jukebox name? When I go to Media -> Devices that is the name that comes up for the jukebox. I've even tried with just k2dmzabk1, removing just the rd=, etc. Any tips? Thanks.

I am a bit confused because k2dmzabk1 has not been mentioned before. What does it represent?.

It genenral what you have to specify is the jukebox name, which is a string that you assign. It is not the device name which is a fixed value depending on your OS and device settings. You will be asked for that name during the jbconfig installation.

With this name NW will find the jukebox - you must tell him with "rd=" on which host to look for it.

Unfortunately, i can not verify it right now as i don't have hardware access.

K2dmzabk1 is the hostname of the storage node that I'm trying to do this for. If I went into jbconfig would this show the names? Or is there some output from nsradmin that would show you this information? Here's some output below:

$ /usr/sbin/nsradmin -i - << EOF
show name
print type: nsr jukebox
> show name
> print type: nsr jukebox
> EOF
name: 3494lib1;

name: "rd=k2dmzbbk1:3494lib1";

name: "rd=k2dmzabk1:3494lib1";

name: "rd=e2pscorlawdba04:3494lib1";

name: "rd=e2qsavcedwdba01:3494lib1";

name: "rd=e2dscorfspdba01:3494lib1";

name: "rd=e2psavcedwdba01:3494lib1";

do this

nsradmin>show name
nsradmin>print type: nsr device

just change ur jukebox to device and it will spit out all thde devices/drives

This is still not perfect but now i get a clue. Because you also have all drives listed within the jukebox resource, you get more than one name.

The jukebox name is just "3494lib1" - all other names are device names, not jukebox names.

I'm a little confused. I do have 1 library - 3494lib1 with a bunch of virtual jukeboxes. So I need to add the tape to k2dmzabk1. Each of the above has their own tapes that I have to assign daily. So what would the command be? See, usually I'll:
ssh k2dmzabk1 "nsrjb -s cdavisqa1 -a -T #####"
But I'm trying to get away from ssh because my environment is getting away from that and figured I should be able to do that from the main server which is cdavisqa1.

Virtual jukeboxes - yes and no. At least it gave me the idea to look up what it really is.

Actually with respect to NetWorker, it is a SILO type library, which is not the same as a jukebox. However, you still use the jukebox command nsrjb.

If you are a NetWorker Administrator, simply run the nsrjb command by itself. However, with respect to security, i don't know whether this will work in your environment.
