    摘要: Calibration of an automated data storage library having a plurality of storage slots configured to store at least one data storage cartridge. An element is placed in one of the plurality of storage slots having a known location, the element having similar external dimensions as a data storage cartridge having a fiducial mark thereon. The fiducial mark is sensed, and the position of the fiducial mark is calibrated with respect to the known location of the storage slot. The element comprises an exterior shell having similar external dimensions as a data storage cartridge; and the fiducial mark located on the exterior shell comprises at least one contrasting edge defining a specific calibration location on the element.

    摘要: Provided is a method, system, and program for allowing communication among nodes in a system. A request is received in a source node from a source object executing in the source node to send a message to a destination object executing in a destination node. Each node includes a processor capable of multitasking multiple program objects and a communication interface to transmit and receive data with the other nodes. A determination is made in the source node as to whether the destination node and source node are a same node. The message is sent in the source node to the destination object within the source node if the destination node is the source node. If the destination node is not the source node, then the source node transmits the message to the destination node through the communication interface. The destination node sends the message to the destination object within the destination node.

    摘要: Addressing failure is handled in a nodal system of processor nodes, which comprise at least one processor and at least one interface to a network. Upon detection of a node address failure of a processor node for the network, such as lack of a node address, or presence of a duplicate address, the processor node is disabled from the network, thereby temporarily failing the processor node so that the system remains operational. An alternate node address stored in nonvolatile memory may be selected that avoids the node address failure.

    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.
