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).
