iXOS-JUKEMAN 2.2 User Manual Pre.12/97 65
CLI UNIX, Windows NT
Use a text editor to create a file “<name>.dev” in the JUKEMAN direc-
tory. Choose a <name> that gives a hint about the configured device (e.
g., mercury or tower).
Enter the following lines in the file:
device=<type>
<type> is the device type of device to be configured. See “Table 3 - De-
vice types for all supported jukeboxes” on page 53.
drive=<path>
Each drive must be specified with a line of this format. The order of the
drive numbers is important, not the order of the SCSI IDs. The “=” may be
followed by a “!”, “-” or a “*”. The meaning of these characters is de-
scribed in “Drive set-up” on page 54.
<path> is the unique path of a SCSI ID for each drive. A detailed descrip-
tion of SCSI ID representation can be found in “SCSI devices and device
names” on page 49.
robot=<rob>[,<robid>]
The parameter <rob> specifies the robot (SCSI-ID/LUN or serial interface)
of the device. For NSM jukeboxes the parameter <robid> must be speci-
fied. See “Robot set-up” on page 56 for more information.
[disks=<slots>]
This line must only be specified, if you do not want to use all slots of a
jukeboxe. The syntax for <slots> is described in “Slot set-up” on page 55.
[save=<savefile>]
If you enter this line, iXOS-JUKEMAN will store information on which disk
is in which slot in the file <savefile> when the jukebox is attached for the
first time. The name of the <savefile> should be the <name> of the device
with the extension .sav (see also “Save file set-up” on page 56.
