README for the SCSI media changer driver
|
||||
========================================
|
||||
|
||||
This is a driver for SCSI Medium Changer devices, which are listed
|
||||
with "Type: Medium Changer" in /proc/scsi/scsi.
|
||||
|
||||
This is for *real* Jukeboxes. It is *not* supported to work with
|
||||
common small CD-ROM changers, neither one-lun-per-slot SCSI changers
|
||||
nor IDE drives.
|
||||
|
||||
Userland tools available from here:
|
||||
http://linux.bytesex.org/misc/changer.html
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
General Information
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
First some words about how changers work: A changer has 2 (possibly
|
||||
more) SCSI ID's. One for the changer device which controls the robot,
|
||||
and one for the device which actually reads and writes the data. The
|
||||
later may be anything, a MOD, a CD-ROM, a tape or whatever. For the
|
||||
changer device this is a "don't care", he *only* shuffles around the
|
||||
media, nothing else.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The SCSI changer model is complex, compared to - for example - IDE-CD
|
||||
changers. But it allows to handle nearly all possible cases. It knows
|
||||
4 different types of changer elements:
|
||||
|
||||
media transport - this one shuffles around the media, i.e. the
|
||||
transport arm. Also known as "picker".
|
||||
storage - a slot which can hold a media.
|
||||
import/export - the same as above, but is accessable from outside,
|
||||
i.e. there the operator (you !) can use this to
|
||||
fill in and remove media from the changer.
|
||||
Sometimes named "mailslot".
|
||||
data transfer - this is the device which reads/writes, i.e. the
|
||||
CD-ROM / Tape / whatever drive.
|
||||
|
||||
None of these is limited to one: A huge Jukebox could have slots for
|
||||
123 CD-ROM's, 5 CD-ROM readers (and therefore 6 SCSI ID's: the changer
|
||||
and each CD-ROM) and 2 transport arms. No problem to handle.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
How it is implemented
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
I implemented the driver as character device driver with a NetBSD-like
|
||||
ioctl interface. Just grabbed NetBSD's header file and one of the
|
||||
other linux SCSI device drivers as starting point. The interface
|
||||
should be source code compatible with NetBSD. So if there is any
|
||||
software (anybody knows ???) which supports a BSDish changer driver,
|
||||
it should work with this driver too.
|
||||
|
||||
Over time a few more ioctls where added, volume tag support for example
|
||||
wasn't covered by the NetBSD ioctl API.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Current State
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
Support for more than one transport arm is not implemented yet (and
|
||||
nobody asked for it so far...).
|
||||
|
||||
I test and use the driver myself with a 35 slot cdrom jukebox from
|
||||
Grundig. I got some reports telling it works ok with tape autoloaders
|
||||
(Exabyte, HP and DEC). Some People use this driver with amanda. It
|
||||
works fine with small (11 slots) and a huge (4 MOs, 88 slots)
|
||||
magneto-optical Jukebox. Probably with lots of other changers too, most
|
||||
(but not all :-) people mail me only if it does *not* work...
|
||||
|
||||
I don't have any device lists, neither black-list nor white-list. Thus
|
||||
it is quite useless to ask me whenever a specific device is supported or
|
||||
not. In theory every changer device which supports the SCSI-2 media
|
||||
changer command set should work out-of-the-box with this driver. If it
|
||||
doesn't, it is a bug. Either within the driver or within the firmware
|
||||
of the changer device.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Using it
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
This is a character device with major number is 86, so use
|
||||
"mknod /dev/sch0 c 86 0" to create the special file for the driver.
|
||||
|
||||
If the module finds the changer, it prints some messages about the
|
||||
device [ try "dmesg" if you don't see anything ] and should show up in
|
||||
/proc/devices. If not.... some changers use ID ? / LUN 0 for the
|
||||
device and ID ? / LUN 1 for the robot mechanism. But Linux does *not*
|
||||
look for LUN's other than 0 as default, becauce there are to many
|
||||
broken devices. So you can try:
|
||||
|
||||
1) echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 ID 1" > /proc/scsi/scsi
|
||||
(replace ID with the SCSI-ID of the device)
|
||||
2) boot the kernel with "max_scsi_luns=1" on the command line
|
||||
(append="max_scsi_luns=1" in lilo.conf should do the trick)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Trouble?
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
If you insmod the driver with "insmod debug=1", it will be verbose and
|
||||
prints a lot of stuff to the syslog. Compiling the kernel with
|
||||
CONFIG_SCSI_CONSTANTS=y improves the quality of the error messages alot
|
||||
because the kernel will translate the error codes into human-readable
|
||||
strings then.
|
||||
|
||||
You can display these messages with the dmesg command (or check the
|
||||
logfiles). If you email me some question becauce of a problem with the
|
||||
driver, please include these messages.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Insmod options
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
debug=0/1
|
||||
Enable debug messages (see above, default: 0).
|
||||
|
||||
verbose=0/1
|
||||
Be verbose (default: 1).
|
||||
|
||||
init=0/1
|
||||
Send INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS command to the changer
|
||||
at insmod time (default: 1).
|
||||
|
||||
timeout_init=<seconds>
|
||||
timeout for the INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS command
|
||||
(default: 3600).
|
||||
|
||||
timeout_move=<seconds>
|
||||
timeout for all other commands (default: 120).
|
||||
|
||||
dt_id=<id1>,<id2>,...
|
||||
dt_lun=<lun1>,<lun2>,...
|
||||
These two allow to specify the SCSI ID and LUN for the data
|
||||
transfer elements. You likely don't need this as the jukebox
|
||||
should provide this information. But some devices don't ...
|
||||
|
||||
vendor_firsts=
|
||||
vendor_counts=
|
||||
vendor_labels=
|
||||
These insmod options can be used to tell the driver that there
|
||||
are some vendor-specific element types. Grundig for example
|
||||
does this. Some jukeboxes have a printer to label fresh burned
|
||||
CDs, which is addressed as element 0xc000 (type 5). To tell the
|
||||
driver about this vendor-specific element, use this:
|
||||
$ insmod ch \
|
||||
vendor_firsts=0xc000 \
|
||||
vendor_counts=1 \
|
||||
vendor_labels=printer
|
||||
All three insmod options accept up to four comma-separated
|
||||
values, this way you can configure the element types 5-8.
|
||||
You likely need the SCSI specs for the device in question to
|
||||
find the correct values as they are not covered by the SCSI-2
|
||||
standard.

||||

This is a driver for SCSI media changers. Most common devices are

tape libraries and MOD/CDROM jukeboxes. *Real* jukeboxes, you
|

don't need this for those tiny 6-slot cdrom changers. Media
|

changers are listed as "Type: Medium Changer" in /proc/scsi/scsi.

If you have such hardware and want to use it with linux, say Y

here. Check <file:Documentation/scsi-changer.txt> for details.

If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be

say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt> and
