by question 1:
Under the nwadmin gui I am trying to update media -> devices -> Cleaning
Required -> No. Currently it is set to Yes for this particular tape
drive and I want it off. I will click on the "No" diamond and
the "Yes" diamond will go grey and the "No" diamond turns yellow. I
will then click on the "apply" button at the bottom then exit out of the
window. I will then reopen the media -> devices window to see that
the Cleaning Required option still has a yellow diamond to make sure.
But later on I will see the following messages in the messages window.
Solstice Backup Device cleaning required: (notice) Device
`/dev/rmt/1ubn' requires cleaning
Solstice Backup Cleaning cartridge required: (notice) Cleaning cartridge
required in Jukebox `ETL1800'
I will go back and check and the Yes diamond will be yellow for Cleaning
Required. What is going on here? I want these messages to stop.
question 2:
I have a jukebox with 2 tape drives, it is an ETL/1800 from Sun but
I think the OEM is ATL. I will highlight one of the tape drives
under the main gui then begin some operation, ie inventory. I then
will try to select the other drive but will get a window telling me
to "Cancel label operation on /rmt/0ubn before selecting another drive".
I effect preventing from using both drive simultaneously. Is this the
way the software was meant to run. How can I get use of both drives
at the same time?
question 3:
I have to be at the jukebox's lcd panel to move tapes around. Are
there commands in unix that I can use outside of Soltice Backup to
perform jukebox operations.
