Networker Commands : Library
I was wondering if there is any command to enable/disable networker library access to our shared tape library .
I was hoping to create a .bat file and execute this command to control networker access to our production backup library

Actually you can do this, but it is not so straight forward as you need to deal with the appropriate resource.
The correct command is "nsradmin".
To test this, run these commands:
C:\>nsradmin
NetWorker administration program.
Use the "help" command for help, "visual" for full-screen mode.
nsradmin>
nsradmin> . type: nsr jukebox; name: your_jbox_name
Current query set
nsradmin> update enabled: no
enabled: no;
Update? y
updated resource id 110.0.164.10.0.0.0.0.124.228.139.79.0.0.0.0.10.54.58.84(147983)
nsradmin>
nsradmin> update enabled: yes
enabled: yes;
Update? y
updated resource id 110.0.164.10.0.0.0.0.124.228.139.79.0.0.0.0.10.54.58.84(147985)
nsradmin> q
C:\>
Then copy the bolded commands to an appropriate text file.
Finally prepare a script or command which executes nsradmin with the text file as appropriate input file.
The core command should read like
nsradmin -i input_file
Good luck.

Thanks Bingo , I created a bat file: nsradmin -i input.txt
Added lines to input.txt :
. type: nsr jukebox;name: i500L6;update enabled:yes;quit
but when i run the .bat file i just getting output :
D:\AFTD>nsradmin -i input.txt
Current query set
i would be interested to learn some basic networking scripting ,is there any resource available where i can get some info.I went through the " networker Command-Reference-Guide" but pretty confusing .
eg: for the above command i wanted to find all the attributes applicabe for "update "
Please advise .

although the script is working and the Jukebox is in "enabled" state , its not getting ready
nsradmin> p type:nsr jukebox;name: i500L6
name: i500L6;
enabled: yes;
ready: No;
.I see this error in the daemon log :
Jukebox 'i500L6' is not in a valid state for nsrlcpd update.
But if i enable the tape library jukebox through GUI , it gets enabled and ready

found it ... OMG !!
. type: nsr jukebox; name: i500L6
update enabled:Yes
Note the "Yes " , "Y" should be CAPS ., "es" should be small
nsradmin> p
name: i500L6;
enabled: Yes;
ready: Yes;

Be aware of delays - It can take a while (1-2 mins) to become ready again.
But I do not see any other parameter that needs to be changed as well.
Is the jukebox attached to the NW server?

Guess what - it happens here as well. And this seems to be related to the appropriate control daemon (nsrlcpd).
This guy is usually started automatically and on demand by its counterpart (nsrmmgd).
Monitor the processes - it seems that if you disable the jukebox from the GUI, nsrlcpd will be stopped as well (in the background) and restarted whenever you re-enable it.
However, if you use nsradmin, only the resource will change but the process will stay alive.
Weird.

Hello GibinG,
If you really confused with admin guide book, you have a look on - Turbocharged EMC NetWorker Guide
I think you can get it using google free of cost. It is really a nice and useful resource for Netwoker and full of example.
Regards,

This guuide is definitely helpful . helps to get a basic idea of the networker commands structure and then we can build on that .
Thanks Shubhadip for the info.
