Testing the Autochanger Connection
To use an autochanger for NetWorker storage management, you must first use the
JBEXER command to test that the device software you installed has been suitably
configured for use with NetWorker.
To test the autochanger connection, follow these steps:
1. Become MANAGER.SYS on the NetWorker storage node.
2. Insert two volumes, one each into the first and last slots of the autochanger. Make
sure that the drives are empty and that all drive doors are closed.
3. Enter the JBEXER command at the CI prompt; specify the control port and the
device type.
The control port for SCSI autochanger models is typically expressed in the format
/dev/sjid1u1, as in the above example. You can obtain the exact control port
pathname from the response displayed by the JBCONFIG command script.
For example, the following command runs the JBEXER program on the Quantum
DLT/Digital DLT autochanger detected by the JBCONFIG script:
: JBEXER;INFO=”-c /dev/sjid1u1 -m “
Quantum DLT/Digital DLT ”
Note: Make sure that no NetWorker processes are running on the storage node when
running the JBEXER utility.
See “Appendix B: Command Line Reference” of the Legato NetWorker Administrator’s
Guide, UNIX Version, or refer to the jbexercise(1m) man page for additional
information on the command options available for the JBEXER command.
Configuring the Autochanger
Follow the instructions in this section to configure and test the device driver software
on a NetWorker storage node with a SCSI autochanger attached.
To configure an autochanger, follow these steps:
1. Become MANAGER.SYS on the NetWorker storage node.
2. Enter the JBCONFIG command.
The following example shows the responses to configure an SJI autochanger:
