no nsrmmd daemon running

I just installed NetWorker 7.2 on a SGI Origin 350 with a SCSI connection to a StorageTek SL500 tape library with one HP Ultrium LTO3 Drive. The software installed fine and I ran the jbconfig command to configure the jukebox. When I look at the nsr processes running (ps -deaf | grep nsr) ther is no nsrmmd process. When I try to label or mount a volume in nwadmin it complains about no nsrmmd available for this device. Can anyone tell me why the daemon is not starting? I've tried stopping (nsr_shutdown) and restarting (/etc/init.d/networker start) and it doesn't help.

    Did you try starting services individually: first nsrexecd...wait for a minute and run nsrd?

    Anuj,
    First, thanks for the reply. I tried what you suggested, but still no nsrmmd daemon is running. The start up script in /etc/rc0.d that NetWorker installed starts the nsrexecd followed by a /bin/sleep 15 before starting the lgtolmd and nsrd.
    The processes I have running (from p -deaf | grep nsr) are:
    nsrexecd, lgtolmd, nsr, nsrmmdbd, and nsrindexd, but no nsrmmd.

    Hello!

    Maybe something wrong with the jukebox configuration:
    Maybe something another driver want to control the jukebox, not the Networker.

    Try to run:

    nsrjb -C
    It must show the contents of the jukebox.
    If not, your jukebox is not correctly configured.
    Maybe the scsi id-s of your jukebox changed or something happend with the
    jukebox.

    If it is possible, try to:
    1. Delete the jukebox resource and devices
    2. Add a jukebox again
    3. issue the nsrjb -C, it must show the contents of the jukebox.
    4. Try to load a volume, label it and start a backup

    After nsrjb -C issued the nsrmmd must be running.



    Regards:
    Paul

    Check daemon.log to see if you have problems with nsrmmd. Also, you don't wish to have 7.2 initial build. Lastly, make sure your device is not disabled (thus no nsrmmd would exist) or that your library is not disabled.

    Talked to a tech at EMC global services. Gave me a new build of 7.2.2 for IRIX (499 compared to the 494 I had). Installed the new files and after running nsrck and nsrim commands the nsrmmd was spawned by nsrd. Must have just been a problem with that version. Thanks for everyone's help.
