mmlocate differs from nsrjb output
Hi,
I have an installation with EBS 7.3 with a
library connected without mailing slot.
Before I move a volume outside the jukebox
mmlocate or media-->volume is in sync with
nsrjb -Cv when you check the location field.
After moving a volume outside the jukebox, than
reset the jukebox( nsrjb -HEv) and do a new inventory ( nsrjb -Iv) I see with nsrjb -Cv that affected
volume is not in the jukebox but mmlocate or
Media--> Volume show in location field the jukeboxname although in Devices--> jukeboxename volume not exists
anymore.
As I know from the man page that location field will
be updated during import or a volume automatically by nsrjb.
Question is what is when I move a volume outside
the jukebox will than the location field also
updated automatically?
I also tried a inventory by the gui with same result( no update) after move a volume outside.
Here you can see an example:

- Then it's easy - open this with support. There are two possible resolutions here:
- mmlocate from now one needs to run manually for libraries without IE caps as only this will be handled automatically with libraries using I/E caps (so when you do nsrjb -d | -w it will call mmlocate as part of the process)
- this is bug and described above is not new design of 7.3

nsrjb -IEv doesn't solve the problem.
I know that I can use mmlocate to clear or
set other location. As far as I remember that
until EBS 7.3 it was working fine.
It is reproduceable.
Here the output of the commands:
s4u-5500a-emuc07# nsrjb -IEv -S1-20
setting verbosity level to `1'
