Jukebox noy seeing all SL500 slots

[wamason]

I just completed configuring a SL500 in a datazone but I only see 50 slots and I know the library has almost 400 slots. Any ideas? Is this someting that I should be discussing with the library vendor?

Not sure about a SL500, but it may well be that you will have to add (and pay for) an additional license key if you want to see more slots. I have seen this behaviour in an ESL9000 from HP.
So discussing with the library vendor seems a good idea.

Problem resolved. The library vendor (Sun Storage) incorrectly configured the library. Library was reconfigured, I reran jbconfig and I am now seeing all 300+ slots.

Hello,

if you issue this command :

sjirdtag x.y.z (where x, y and z are the SCSI adress of your jukebox)

how many 'Element Type STORAGE:' are returned ?

 

[wamason]

it shows 395 slots.

It is the total number of slots which are presented to networker when doing the 'inquire' phase during the jbconfig (even if there are more slots in the jukebox, due to a capacity-on-demand, for example).

So it's a good idea to launch this command in order to have a clue in finding the problem origin : jukebox or networker.

Nice to find the problem resolved

Ahh, I was wondering why you asked about running inquire now. But I know now how to determine whether the issue is with the library or Networker.

It's great to learn something new EVERYDAY!!

Thanks.
