    摘要： An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for managing physical addresses of data storage media within a data storage library. The library maintains a data table of storage slots and the media stored in those slots. The data table may contain addresses for storage slots that are not physically present or accessible within the library. Hardware such as storage slots may be added or removed without causing an inconsistency within the data table of assigned addresses. Addresses may be recorded as the particular frame, column, and row that describe the location of a particular storage slot. Each data storage media is associated with a particular host. The data table of the library maintains a record of data storage media and the host affinity the media corresponds to.

    摘要： Drives of a data storage library are concurrently configured. A processor transmits library configuration data separately to each drive, initializes a first configuration process state, with a time-out period, for each drive. A drive responds with a status response, the first process state is updated to “completed”. A request for drive unique information is transmitted to the responding drive, advancing the process to a second state, with a time-out period. A drive responds with the information, and the second process state is updated to “completed”, and the received information is stored.

    摘要： An automated system having removable system components is self-configured, first, determining whether configuration data is available, for example, in a non-volatile memory. If available, the processor reads a system identifier of the configuration data, compares the read and a sensed system identifier, and, if they match, ends the self-configuration. Otherwise, the system senses the removable system components, configuring the system. A sensor is moved to sense the presence or absence each of the removable system components at substantially the expected location of the component. The system operates a movable sensor to calibrate a relative position with respect to the calibration mark.

    摘要： A read only input system provides a source of information for a controller of an automated data storage library, separate from the controller stored microcode, and that will be available for use by the controller after the controller microcode has been updated or restored. The read only input system comprises a bar code reader mounted on an accessor of the library and coupled to the controller for providing the output of the bar code reader to the controller, and a bar code label mounted in the automated data storage library, positioned at a predetermined fixed location. The bar code label encodes input control information for the controller, which is read by the bar code reader and supplied to the controller. The bar code label input control information may comprise an offset value for at least one of the X, Y and Z direction coordinates of the accessor in order to align the accessor. The bar code label input control information may also comprise engineering change information, and/or may comprise product option information.

    摘要： A method and system for reclaiming stacked volumes within a peripheral data storage subsystem is disclosed. In accordance with the method and system of the present invention, a database is interrogated to determine whether or not an opportunistic reclaim threshold of a stacked volume has been reached after a service request from a host computer has been performed on a stacked volume and while the stacked volume is still mounted. If the opportunistic reclaim threshold of the stacked volume has not been reached, the stacked volume is released and dismounted. However, if the reclaim threshold of the stacked volume has been reached, another determination is made as to whether or not a service request for the host computer is pending. If the host computer requires service, the stacked volume is again released and dismounted. Otherwise, if the host computer does not require service, at least one data set from the mounted stacked volume is opportunistically reclaimed while the stacked volume is still mounted.

    摘要： Provided is a method, system, and program for providing status information in a system comprised of multiple components. A first processing node receives status information indicating a state of a system component and generates a status message indicating the state of the system component. The first processing node transmits the status message to a second processing node. The second processing node updates information maintained by the second processing node with the state of the system component indicated in the status message. Status information maintained by the second processing node is returned to a request for status.
