OK. Jay makes sense here: 1) Jay says: I have choices: chg-scsi or chg-zd-mtx. but I have a third config file in the distribution called chg-scsi-solaris.conf
The X80 has 80 slots for tapes. (elements) Tape Drive 1 is element 451, 2 is 452, 3 is 453, and the cleaning cartridge lives in slot 0 and element 401-405 are the only way to put tapes in/out of unit! So much for paying attention. In modifying the chg-scsi file, I thought the commands were well defined. so for example startuse: 451 #The slots associated with the drive 1 would also be enduse 451 since the drive is ONLY 1 slot. Howerver, looking (thanks for humility check, Jay!) at The "FM". (in) docs/TAPE.Changers correctly shows that startuse/enduse can be used to set # of slots for machine. so it should be startuse1,enduse80 Now can someone explain the following: a) what is the relationship of mtx to chg-scsi b) what is the relationship of chg-scsi.conf and the files in the /usr/local/libexec directory (/usr/local/libexec/chg-scsi) c) How do I get my unit to start READING the barcodes? thanks again
