How To Verify the Autochanger Connection

1. Become root on the Backup server or storage node.

2. Insert two volumes, one each into the first and last slots of the autochanger. Make sure that the drives are empty and that any drive doors are open.

3. Enter the jbexercise command at the prompt and specify the control port and the device type.

   The control port for SCSI autochanger models is typically expressed in the format /dev/scsidev@n.n.n. You can obtain the exact control port pathname from the response displayed by the jb_config command script:

   These are the SCSI Jukeboxes currently attached to your system 1) scsidev@1.2.0: DLI Libra Series 2) scsidev@0.2.1: Quantum DLT/Digital DLT

   For example, the following command runs the jbexercise program on the Quantum DLT/Digital DLT autochanger detected by the jb_config script

   # jbexercise -c /dev/scsidev@0.2.1 -m "Quantum DLT/Digital DLT"

   See the appendix "Command Line Reference" in the Solstice Backup 5.1 Administration Guide or refer to the jbexercise(1m) man page for additional information on the command options available for the jbexercise command.

   Caution -

   After you install, configure, and test the autochanger, enter the enabler code for the Backup Autochanger Software Module according to the instructions on your enabler certificate. Be sure to register and authorize the Autochanger Software Module; otherwise, the software will disable itself 45 days after you enter the enabler. See "Enabling and Registering Backup" for instructions.
