Setting up iXOS-JUKEMAN
iXOS-JUKEMAN 2.2 User Manual Pre.12/9756
If not otherwise specified in the device description file, all slots will be
used. You can specify a few disks by adding a line such as disks=1-3 or
disks=1,2,4-6.
The slots can be specified using the following syntax:
- no slot
7 slot 7
3,6,40 slots 3, 6 and 40
3-7 slots 3 through 7
2,20-45 slot 2, and slots 20 through 45
Save file set-up
When the server attaches a device, it inspects only the specified disks.
This is useful during installation when you start and stop the server often.
If you do not want the server to inspect the disks upon each start-up, use
the parameter save=<savefile> to specify a save file in which the server
stores information about which disk resides in which slot of the jukebox.
The server uses the file if present or creates it if it is not present.
device=pioneer6 device=pioneer6
drive=\\.\p0b0t4 drive=/dev/iXOS_SCSI0/4
save=p6.sav save=p6.sav
We recommend to follow this naming scheme: Use the name of the device
description file with the suffix .sav instead of the suffix .dev. This is also
the default setting if the save file is specified as save=*.sav. If the name
of your device description file is p6.dev, the corresponding save file
should be p6.sav.
Please note, that if you change disks manually the state of the save file
will be corrupted. Therefore, manual disk changes should only be done, if
you are aware of how to regain a consistent state (see “cdadm testcd
<device> <list>” on page 233).
Robot set-up
For the device types “nakamichi”, “tower”, “image” and “pioneer6” as well
as “single” a robot need not be specified.
For all other device types, you must specify a robot: robot=<rob>. For
most devices this is another SCSI ID. For “sony_cdz” and “pioneer18”,
this is a LUN of the drive target. This is what a device description file for a
“pioneer18” using slots 1-9 must look like:
