Configuration of storage node in 7.3

When doing upgrade your existing configuration should be reused - so no extra steps should be required.

If you are adding new storage node then question is:
- are you adding new library or
- adding new devices

In first case you will need to run jbconfig from host controlling robotics (you may wish to do this via GUI, but I there might be few problems with that so I strongly suggest to use jbconfig -s bck_server).

In second case you can do that via jbedit (or you can remove existing library configuration and readd it via jbconfig).

If adding standalone device just go to device section and add it.

In short, that would be it.

The issue is that, I have an IBM Library connect via san switch. I have also configure an IA 64 bit windows machine to be able to see the library as well. I need to share an drive out to this IA64 bit machine as storage node. Can you advise further how to configure that. In Legato 7.2.1, the command is just "Jbedit -a" but after upgrade, I am not able to do so. The system is asking about "jbedit -a -f ". Can you advise what is the correct command.

If I remember rightly jbedit -a -f forces an add when a drive is not detected; I would suggest you verify with the inquire command that you can see the drive from the storage node.

Check http://softwaresupport.emc.com/support/resolutions/dmfrmresolutionview.asp?id=67355

Try jbedit -a -f \\.\Tape1 -E 1.1.0 -v -s eapsdev10040.s1.ms.unilever.com

(that scsidev@ part was problem)

First check with inquire if you see device (and make sure RSM in Windows services is disabled).

jbedit output on my box looks like following:

C:\Documents and Settings\Hrvoje Crvelin>jbedit
jbedit: must select one of -a or -d options
 
 Usage: jbedit -a -f  -E  [-v] [-s server] [-j ]
 Usage: jbedit -d -f  [-v] [-s ] [-j ]
 Usage: jbedit -h
 -a: Add a device to a jukebox
 -d: Delete a device from a jukebox
 -f:  to add/delete
 -j: Name of jukebox to perform operations on
 -E: Element address of the drive associated with the device to add
 -s: Name of NetWorker server
 -v: Print verbose messages
 
 -h: Show this help screen

So, if -f is required and you can see device try something like:
jbedit -a -f \\.\TapeX -E B.T.L -v -s bck_server_name

\\.\TapeX is \\.\Tape0 or \\.\Tape1 or whatever - you will see that from inquire output.

B.T.L is bus.target.lun number - you will see that listed in inquire output (eg. 2.0.1).

Actually I'm not sure about device name format to be honest... given that this is on remote host... you will need to play around with that and check afterwards in GUI if end result is expected one.

Still having issue.

No issue as I will log an call the Legato for futher advise. Thanks for your help on this.

Sorry to disturb again.

I am try to configure the \\.\tape1 for storage node. Please advise further

Hi Hrvoje Crvelin,

So what should I do for that. As the EBS is an Windows environment, sorry about this as I am bit not so knowledgeable on this. Thanks in advance.

I believe we are almost there - you need to specify the storage node in the jbedit command to show it is remote to the storage node controlling the robotics:

jbedit -a -f rd=storagenodename:\\.\Tape1

As pointed put by Abhijit, I did a mistake thinking one and saying something completely else. -E should use element address and that is not the same as b.t.l address. For more details see:
