As I wrote before Networker won’t recognize the second VTL. Let’s configure the first one.

Note
Networker needs NO REWIND tape devices (/dev/nst*). If you don’t use them your tapes will be overwritten!!!

nwsrv:~ # jbconfig

Jbconfig is running on host nwsrv.site (Linux 2.6.31.12-0.2-default),
  and is using nwsrv.site as the NetWorker server.

         1) Configure an AlphaStor Library.
         2) Configure an Autodetected SCSI Jukebox.
         3) Configure an Autodetected NDMP SCSI Jukebox.
         4) Configure an SJI Jukebox.
         5) Configure an STL Silo.

What kind of Jukebox are you configuring? [1] 2
14484:jbconfig: Scanning SCSI buses; this may take a while ...

The drives in this jukebox cannot be auto-configured with the available
 information. You will need to provide the path for the drives.

Is any drive going to have more than one path defined? (yes / no) [no]

login to NMC

start firefox and run URL http://nwsrv:9000

press start, open with > other > javaws

Now set the password for NMC user Administrator

Let’s use the NMC.

PressEnterprise > select server nwsrv in enterprise > double click at networker

MHVTL tape library

In new windows press devices > select library jb1

You can see that there are 2 cleaning tapes and 18 unlabeled tapes. Lets label some tapes…

Backup to Disk

Networker uses Advanced Filetype devices (AFTD) for disk backup. Let’s create a AFTD on mountpoint /aftd.

O.k. Now you have an up and running Networker server with a VTL and AFTD. You can use shell or NMC to administrate Networker.

conclusion

I hope you enjoyed this step by step howto. Some feedback would be nice

Kind regards, Otmanix

You can see that there are 2 Spectra Python tape libraries, each containing 4 IBM LTO4 tape drives.

Note

EMC Networker will not recognize the second tape library. There seems to be a problem that the second tape library has the same SCSI controller number as the first one.

configuration

The MHVTL configuration files are located in /etc/mhvtl. You may stop MHVTL with /etc/init.d/mhvtl stop, change the files as desired and start MHVTL with /etc/init.d/mhvtl start once again.

nwsrv:/etc/mhvtl # ls
device.conf  library_contents.10  library_contents.30  mhvtl.conf

The virtual tapes are located as files in directory /opt/vtl.

nwsrv:/opt/vtl # ls
CLN100S3  DD1001S3  DD1005S3  DD1009S3  DD3003S3  DD3007S3  UD1011L4  UD1015L4  UD1019L4  UD3013L4  UD3017L4

MHVTL forum

There’s a forum for MHVTL, run by nia, where you can ask questions, have a look at other configurations and so on…
