You can use jbconfig -s nwserver command on storage node to do it. Simply, remote devices should appear as rd=storagenodename:device (for example rd=venus:\\.\Tape0)
I want to configure physical tape drives of storage node, i am able to see the device but when i double click the device then the message that i am getting is "Resource does not exist". So how can i set the resource for that particular device.
That's strange, is seems like there's no information about this device in networker configuration (nsr/res) or it's pointing to the one that doesn't exists. I think the easiest way is to configure it once again. Delete all storage node devices (in NMC, both under libraries and devices) and use the command I wrote about (jbconfig -s servername) You don't have to set any resource, it should be created by jbconfig. Of course there is a way to create resources manually (nsradmin) but it's quite complicated.
I am new in Networker, so kindly let me know the command to add the remote devices in Networker for storage Nodes. How can i get the Element Number for devices?
This really depend if you are adding tape device or disk device, if you adding standalone device or device belonging to library, if that library is new or existing one, if device shared or not, etc.
As you ask for element number I assume you tried to add device with jbedit... thus I will quote jbedit manual: "-E The drive element address.
This is the data element address of the drive with which the device is associated. When a new drive or device is being added to a jukebox, jbedit needs to know the data element address of the drive/device within the jukebox. The data element address is the "decimal number" that the jukebox assigns to each of its drives. Information about drives, data element addresses and other information associated with a jukebox can be found in relem(1m), changers(1m), sn(1m) and sjisn(1m)."
Yes, the jukebox is already configured in Networker but the physical tape drives were deleted so now i want to add them again. I am also able to see the physical drives through the inquire command.
So what procedure that i have to follow to configure the previously configured drives.
I believe if you have removed devices then you probably removed library as well. In that case go to box where robotic control is and run jbconfig command.
If library is still there, then use jbedit. I would suggest to run jbedit from storage node. Check jbedit manual for syntax. As for element address, sn/sjisn could be of help, but you will need to execute that one on box where robotic control is.
