Library configuration using the jbedit command

If the autoconfiguration program cannot be used, the jbedit (jukebox edit) program can be used as a fallback means of editing library configurations. This command can be run on a NetWorker server, storage node, or client (if the client is a storage node). It operates without disrupting any backup or recovery operations on the library.

Running the jbedit program requires Configure NetWorker user privileges.

The jbedit program supports all direct-attached SCSI/SJI, SAN, and NDMP libraries.

The jbedit program is not intended to be a full-fledged editor of the Library resource. The editing of Library resource attributes should be done as described in Reconfiguring a library. The jbedit options provide selection lists that make it easy to find drives or devices to be added or deleted.

The following table lists the most commonly used jbedit program options.

Table 1. Common jbedit options
Option	Description
-a	Add a drive or device.
-d	Deletes a drive or device.
-j	Name of the autochanger to be edited.
-f	Name of the device to be added or deleted.
-E	Element address of the device to be added or deleted.

The NetWorker Command Reference Guide or the UNIX man page provides a detailed description of the jbedit command, its options, and associated diagnostic messages.
