JBEDIT problems

Question

Greetings! During a recent configuration change, a device was created (/dev/nst2) to test communications with the embedded storage node to clone to physical tape. After configuring the two drives with the proper target, this third drive refuses to delete through the Networker GUI. So I went to command line to use the jbedit command to remove the device and for some reason either my syntax is incorrect or there is another issue that I am not seeing. The following is the command I am using: jbedit -d -f /dev/nst2 It then tells me: 39078:jbedit: RAP error: No jukeboxes are currently usable. I have done some looking around and can't really find anything of value other than optional suggestions on how to run the command. None of which work either. How should I delete this?

39078:jbedit: RAP error: No jukeboxes are currently usable.

This would come normally when the jukebox is not there. It might have been disabled for any reasons that should be there in the deamon.log.

Please check if it id disabled in the NMC GUI & then enable it and run your jbedit command.

Is there a jukebox configured or is this a stand alone device? jbedit is only used for devices in a jukebox, try to use nsradmin to remove a stand alone device.

It's actually part of a jukebox.I should also mentioned that it is shared with a /dev/nst0 device but sharing is disabled since we do not use shared devices.rd=cdl-b_service.corp.soniccorporate.com:Physical_i500 rd=cdl-b_service.corp.soniccorporate.com:/dev/nst0 rd=cdl-a_service.corp.soniccorporate.com:/dev/nst0 rd=cdl-a_service.corp.soniccorporate.com:/dev/nst2 - this is disabled and shared with cdl-aDoes that make sense? I was familiar with jbedit which is why I used this and am not with nsradmin, so I stayed away from that.Is it easier with nsradmin? Or will jbedit do the trick?
