A technical query on Legato Networker.

[reddragdiva]

I will describe today in more detail when I am once more capable of forming sentences without swearing. In the meantime, I have the following problem:

# nsrjb -HEv
setting verbosity level to `1'
nsrjb: Unable to open SJI device scsidev@4.0.0. Check device, connections and drivers.
nsrjb: SYSTEM error: No such file or directory
#

But:

# ./inquire
scsidev@0.0.0:FUJITSU MAB3091S SUN9.0G2107|Disk, /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2
scsidev@0.2.0:FUJITSU MAB3091S SUN9.0G1705|Disk, /dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s2

scsidev@5.5.0:QUANTUM DLT7000 2150|Tape, /dev/rmt/3cbn

That is, the Networker daemons have the wrong sodding device ID for the jukebox controller.

Where in the thousands of pages of Nyetworker documentation do I find where to tell the bastard where the jukebox controller actually lives?

Update: Solved: Media->Jukeboxes->Control Port. D'oh!

Muaahahahhahahaaaaaa.
Ahem, sorry. But this is funny.
Nearly as amusing as our Citrix servers which haven't been working for nearly two weeks :)

Y'know, I ended up fiddling a great deal with the Nyetworker rig @ Another. Saved their gormless, punter-deleting-with-shonky-scripts arses more than several times.

Can I remember anything useful about it? No.

Would be inclined to run the Magic Solaris Incantation that rebuilds the /dev directory and then grep through the Nyetworker tree.

Bloody jukes. They only good ones are the boxes the size of vending machines with the small child inside.

How do they train the child not to eat the tapes?

I am SO glad I followed that link, thinking that I might actually be able to help with a problem.

There's 5 seconds of my life I'll never get back again.

in nwadmin Media->Jukeboxes->Devices?
alternetly try running
jbconfig -s server -l
to get networker to rescan the SCSI bus and reconfigure the jukebox.

I have to admit that, once I managed to wrap my head around the strangness that is Networker, I loath it somewhat less than any other backup software I've used.

Yep, got the same in BOFHnet and applied it :-)

"I have to admit that, once I managed to wrap my head around the strangness that is Networker, I loath it somewhat less than any other backup software I've used."

The Sun documentation (Networker is part of Solstice) is somewhat better than the Legato documentation.
