 Unmounting tapes from non-existent tape library
The other week, I had to reboot my NW 7.6.2 server on Windows. And it then
decided to change the SCSI ID of my autochanger. So I had to delete that
definition, and re-add it with the new ID. That all worked, but it now
appears as if 2 of the tape volumes are still mounted on the old
autochanger (i.e., doing "mminfo -av -q "near,savetime < 1 day" -r
"pool,volume,volaccess(22),location" shows 2 with location of the old
definition).
How can I unmount these 2 tapes? I don't see the old definition with the
old SCSI ID anywhere ...

Will mmlocate update them?

Looks like it will. So what should I do - change the location to be blank?
I can't change it to my current autochanger, since those volumes are not
physically in the autochanger.

Blank their location. Or, put them back into your current autochanger
and then inventory their slots.

Why did you have to delete and re-add it? You could have just changed
the SCSI address in the NSR jukebox resource. Better still you could
implement persistent binding on the HBA and prevent this ever happening
again.

I do have persistent binding enabled (I thought), but I guess I only have
it for tape drives, and not the autochanger itself ...

mmlocate will change the location to whatever you want it to be except if the media has just been inserted into the AC. Then the first move within the AC will set it to the name of your AC.
Cannot verify right now but if you say 'mounted', do you really mean the AC? - AFAIK you an just mount a media in a device. If so, i expect "nsrmm -u" to do the job.

Persistent binding for the library is quite simple - you just need to do
plain old-fashioned HBA binding. It's more complicated for tape drives
on Windows because the OS screws you up by messing with the mapping from
SCSI address to device name.
