iXOS-JUKEMAN 2.2 User Manual Pre.12/97 227
cdadm rescan <device>
Function:
Reinitializes the internal memory of the jukebox, which stores information
about which slot or drive contains which disk. This command is needed for
some jukeboxes, if disks were changed manually. The jukebox would not
know about these changes and could damage itself as it tries to move a
disk in a slot which is presumed empty. The other way around the jukebox
will not move disks into a drive if the slot is presumed empty according to
the internal memory.
Execution of this command can take quite some time, since by default all
slots are tested (e. g., about one hour for the Pioneer 5004 X), Alterna-
tively, iXOS-JUKEMAN version 2.2 allows a partial rescan for the Pioneer
1004 X and 5004 X as well as the JVC MC-* and DISK CD CHG-* juke-
boxes with the command “cdadm testcd”, e. g., cdadm testcd
pi500.dev 1-20. Please note, that the server parameter blanks (s.
Seite 123) must be set to 0 to guarantee these test are actually done.
However, the command “cdadm testcd” applied to all slots of the juke-
box should not be mistaken as a substitute for cdadm rescan: A rescan
refers to the internal memory of the jukebox, whereas a testcd refers to
the internal volumes database of the server.
The parameter <device> represents a valid device description file in the
JUKEMAN directory. These files have the extension .dev. The extension
may be omitted in the command.
Example:
cdadm rescan jb.dev
