Autochanger Inventory Problems

The autochanger inventory becomes outdated, which means that Backup cannot use the autochanger, if any of the following situations occur:

• The media is manually ejected from the autochanger drive.

• The media is removed from the autochanger.

• The autochanger door is opened.

To make the autochanger usable again, perform the following steps:

1. Verify that the media cartridge is correctly installed in the autochanger and that the autochanger door is closed.

2. Become root on the Backup server.

3. Reset the autochanger.

   # nsrjb -Hv

4. Perform an inventory.

   # nsrjb -Iv

   After the inventory operation is finished, Backup can once again use the autochanger.

   For complete information on the use of the nsrjb command, refer to the nsrjb(8) man page or see Chapter 7, Autochanger Module.
