If you experience a power outage, the optical autochanger loses track of the state
of its backup volumes. Issuing the nsrjb -Hcommand may not successfully
reset the autochanger. If you see output similar to the following, it means the
nsrjb -Hcommand failed to reset the autochanger:

# nsrjb -H
nsrjb: Autochanger error, Invert operation not supported

*

Use the following procedure to reset the autochanger: 1.Enter the following command, and make a note of the output.

# nsrjb -H

This command displays information about the volumes loaded in the drive(s), the
volume label(s), and the slots from which the volumes were loaded into the drive(s). 2.Manually unload the volume from the device.
Consult your autochanger hardware documentation for information on how to do
this. The volume ends up in the cartridge access port with the "B" side facing up. 3.Manually reinsert the volume into the cartridge access port, flipping them over so
that the "A" side faces up.
4.Use the control panel on the autochanger to reload the volume from the cartridge
access port into the slot it originally came from.
5.Reset the autochanger.

# nsrjb -H

Tips for the ADIC 1200c Autochanger

Unlike most autochangers, the ADIC1200c does not allow you to set the SCSI address of the autochanger (robotic arm) and the tape drive separately. You can only set the SCSIaddress of the tape drive. The SCSIaddress assigned to the autochanger is always three numbers higher than the tape drive address.
