Solstice Backup 5.1 Administration Guide

How to Deposit a Volume

To use the CAP to deposit a volume, follow these steps:

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

  2. Press the button on the front of the autochanger to move the cartridge holder forward and open the CAP.

  3. Place the volume in the holder.

  4. Press the button again to move the media into the autochanger and close the CAP.

  5. Enter the nsrjb command at the system prompt.

    Replace slot with the slot number for the volume and volume with the label name of the volume:


    # nsrjb -d -S slot volume
    

    If you do not specify a volume name with the nsrjb command, Backup marks the slot with a -* to indicate that the volume in that slot is unknown. Inventory the slot with the following command:


    # nsrjb -I -S slot
    

    To verify that the volume was deposited in the correct slot, use Backup to mount the volume.
