These are used in conjunction with the ADSM Version 3 Administrator's and Reference guide and the ADSM Version 3 Installing the Server and Administrative Client. These diagrams can be added to their sections for recording the SCSI ID's and device names. Element addresses are used by ADSM to address the tape drive device and the storage slots contained by a SCSI Library/Autochanger. The ADSM command DEFINE DRIVE utilizes the element address of each drive in a multi-drive library. The ADSM command CHECKIN LIBVOL uses the address of a storage slot for libraries that do not have Entry/Exit ports. With the exception of DUAL LUN (Logical Unit Numbers) devices, you will need separate SCSI ID for your autochanger and a SCSI ID for each drive in your library device. Configure the autochanger and each drive in the library separately using the procedure described in the 'Configuring a Tape Drive, or Autochanger' section of the ADSM Administrator's Guide. NOTE: On some libraries, the element addresses of the cartridge slots will not directly correspond to the slot numbers (e.g. slot number 1 may be element address 2, etc.). This is important because ADSM will always reference cartridge slots by element addresses, not slot numbers. Note: ADSM Device Drivers only support SCSI II Hardware. ---- ______________________________ Figure 1 _______________________________ Default Element Addresses for Quantum DLT 108 Autoloader -------------------------------------------------------- Addresses Addresses of Addresses of Addresses of Model #s of Drives Storage slots Transport Entry/Exit Slots ----------- ---------- ------------- ------------ ---------------- DLTstor 108 16 256 - 263 1 N/A __________________ / /| / / | /_________________/ | | | C| | | | | L| | | | | N| Drive | | | | x| (16) | / | | x| | / Slot 7 - 8 |__|_x|__________| (262 - 263) // // Transport Element (1) ___________________ / /| / / | /__________________/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | / | | | | | | | / |__|__|__|__|__|__|/ Slot 1 - 6 (256 - 261) Notes: ------ 1.

Please ensure the autoloader door is closed. 3. Auto cleaning is supported. On the operator's panel, 'Auto Cleaning' should be set and cleaning cartridge MUST be loaded in the physical slot 8 which is the one next to the drive. 4.

Firmware level during validation Library: 2.03 Drives : Quantum DLT7000 1E48 2. This validation only applies to the SCSI interface of the library. 3. Recommended library setting when running ADSM: Manufacturer defaults. This includes: SCSI Parity Checking: Enabled I/E Configured as 4 elements Mag 0: Index 288 Import Index 289 Export Mag 1: Index 290 Import Index 291 Export Automatic Media Inventory after SCSI Reset: Disabled Automatic Media Inventory after Unsafe/Media Change: Disabled When the I/E unit is configured as 4 elements, slot 288 and 289 share one physical slot which is located underneath magazine 0. Slot 290 and 291 share the other physical slot which is located underneath magazine 1. 4. It's ok to configure the I/E ports as 2 elements with: Mag 0: Index 288 Import Mag 1: Index 289 Export 5. Using library firmware revision 2.03, it is NOT recommended to configure the I/E ports as 2 elements with: Mag 0: index 288 Export Mag 1: Index 289 Import 6. Users should ensure the tapes are loaded properly in the magazines. The removeable magazines should also be placed in the I/E unit correctly to avoid any possible abnormal state report of the tapes. 7. Barcode label for tapes in the library is fully supported. However the barcode reader cannot reach I/E ports. In order to label from multiple I/E ports 'search=bulk labelsource=prompt' should be specified. In this case users have to explicitly specify the barcode label names from the server console. 8. Must use Breece Hill provided barcode labels for Breece Hill Libraries.

Firmware level during validation: Library : 1.30 Drives : 1.00 (GY-2120 DTF Drive) PetaSite Controller(PSC): 1.30 (DZC-B35 Controller on NT) 2. Currently, ADSM supports SCSI control of PSC only. API control through network is not supported at this time. 3. If you are using large DTF tapes only, Bin-Division is necessary for ADSM to work properly due to two element addresses per physical slot. This is true for libraries configured with only one DTF drive(See the configuration example below). Sony allows 2 divisions max. with one drive in each division. Example: You have a 30-slot DMS-B35 with one DTF drive. - Make sure there is no tape inside of the library before you perform Bin-Division. Otherwise, you will get the "already cassette" error message during Bin-Division. - Go to Setup in the PSC(Monitoring and Maintenance Terminal). - Select "Bin-Division" - Fill in the blanks as follows: BusNo = 0 (division number) UserID = 0 (SCSI id of the host computer's SCSI adapter) Drive = 1001 - 1001 (since you have only 1 drive) Slot = 1 - 30 (Assign the entire slots since there is only one drive. A partial assignment of slots may cause abnormal behaviors.) Type = Select either "L-only" or "PetaServe" - The "L-only" and "PetaServe" mode disable the second half of element addresses(3031-3060) and therefore they are not known to ADSM. Other types, especially "All", may not work properly in the ADSM environment. For example, with the "All" mode, the current implementation of PSC reports that the 2nd half address 3031 is a valid destination address whether or not 3001 is occupied. Therefore, ADSM may attempt to move a large tape to the location, which will fail due to its size. 4. Because of the current implementation of PSC, ADSM does not recommend both large and small tapes be used in a single library but if you choose to do so, make sure you perform Bin-Division where one division is for large only and the other for small only. Again, for the division of large tapes, make sure Type is set to either "L-only" or "Petaserve". 5. For further detailed information about Bin-Division, please refer to Sony documents and contact their technical support. Figure 7 -- Default Element Addresses for Sony DMS-B35 DTF Library ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- =================================================================== New options for ACSLS library Support =================================================================== The following new option is added to be included in the dsmserv.opt file: ACSQUICKINIT Specifies if the initialization of the ACSLS library should be quick or full initialization during the server startup. The full initialization matches the ACSLS inventory with the ADSM inventory and validate the locking for each ADSM owned volume. It also validates the drive locking and dismount all volumes currently in the ADSM drive. The full initialization takes about 1-2 seconds per volume and can take a long time during the server startup for a large library. ACSQUICKINIT bypasses all the inventory matching and lock validation. The user must ensure the integrity of the ADSM inventory and drive availability. All ADSM volumes and/or drives are assumed locked by the same lock_id and available to use. This option is useful for the server restart, and should only be used if all ADSM inventory and resources remain the same while the server is down. The default is NO +------------------+----------------------------------------------+ | ACSQUICKINIT | [YES | NO] | +------------------+----------------------------------------------+
