Repeat this step for the remaining devices, for example
/dev/tape 43.
When you use the JBCONFIG program to configure an autochanger, NetWorker
creates a new resource with the name you specified. You can view the new resource
in the Jukeboxes resource in the NetWorker Administrator program. Refer to the
online help or the nsr_jukebox(5) man page for details on the attributes of the
Jukeboxes resource.
Enabling and Registering the Autochanger Software Module
After you install, configure, and test the autochanger, enter the enabler code for the
NetWorker Autochanger Software Module according to the instructions on your
enabler certificate. Be sure to register and authorize the Autochanger Software Module,
or the software disables itself 45 days after you enter the enabler. Refer to “Enabler
Code Entry” in the Legato NetWorker Administrator’s Guide, UNIX Version, for further
information.
If you install additional autochangers at a later time, you must enable and register each
additional Autochanger Software Module you purchase. You must also configure and
test the driver software for the new autochanger. You only need to reinstall the
NetWorker device drivers to add an additional autochanger if you removed the device
driver software after the original installation.
Remote Autochanger Management
Autochangers that are connected to storage node machines require a few additional
configuration and management steps.
You can control most operations on remote autochanger devices from the NetWorker
Administrator program. But for some remote autochanger operations, such as, reset,
you must use the NSRJB or JBCONFIG command on the storage node machine. You
can issue the commands as MANAGER.SYS, either from the local machine or through
a remote login session.
After you install the storage node binaries on the storage node machine, define the
storage node’s devices. The method for defining devices is described in “Remote
Device Configuration” in the Legato NetWorker Administrator’s Guide, UNIX Version. An
overview is provided here.
