.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm ch
|
|
.Nd SCSI media-changer (juke box) driver
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd device ch
|
|
.Cd device ch1 target 4 unit 0
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr ch
|
|
driver provides support for a
|
|
.Em SCSI
|
|
media changer.
|
|
It allows many slots of media to be multiplexed between
|
|
a number of drives. The changer device may optionally be equipped
|
|
with a bar code reader, which reads label informationen attached to
|
|
the media.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A SCSI adapter must also be separately configured into the system
|
|
before a SCSI changer can be configured.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
As the SCSI adapter is probed during boot, the
|
|
.Em SCSI
|
|
bus is scanned for devices.
|
|
Any devices found which answer as 'Changer'
|
|
type devices will be 'attached' to the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver.
|
|
In FreeBSD releases prior to 2.1, the first found will be attached as
|
|
.Em ch0
|
|
and the next,
|
|
.Em ch1
|
|
etc.
|
|
Beginning in 2.1 it is possible to specify what ch unit a device should
|
|
come on line as; refer to
|
|
.Xr scsi 4
|
|
for details on kernel configuration.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
.Sh KERNEL CONFIGURATION
|
|
In configuring, if an optional
|
|
.Ar count
|
|
is given in the specification, that number of SCSI media changers
|
|
are configured; Most storage for them is allocated only when found
|
|
so a large number of configured devices is cheap.
|
|
(once the first
|
|
has included the driver).
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sh IOCTLS
|
|
User mode programs communicate with the changer driver through a
|
|
number of ioctls which are described below. Changer element addresses
|
|
used in the communcation between the kernel and the changer device are
|
|
mapped to zero-based logical addresses. Element types are specified
|
|
as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width CHET_MT
|
|
.It Dv CHET_MT
|
|
Medium transport element (picker).
|
|
.It Dv CHET_ST
|
|
Storage element (slot).
|
|
.It Dv CHET_IE
|
|
Import/export element (portal).
|
|
.It Dv CHET_DT
|
|
Data transfer element (drive).
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2
|
|
calls apply to the changer.
|
|
They are defined
|
|
in the header file
|
|
.Aq Pa sys/chio.h .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width CHIOEXCHANGE
|
|
.It Dv CHIOMOVE
|
|
.Pq Li "struct changer_move"
|
|
Move a medium from one element to another (\fBMOVE MEDIUM\fR) using
|
|
the current picker. The source and destination elements are specified
|
|
in a changer_move structure, which includes at least the following
|
|
fields:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
u_int cm_fromtype; /* element type to move from */
|
|
u_int cm_fromunit; /* logical unit of from element */
|
|
u_int cm_totype; /* element type to move to */
|
|
u_int cm_tounit; /* logical unit of to element */
|
|
u_int cm_flags; /* misc. flags */
|
|
.Ed
|
|
If the \fBCM_INVERT\fR in the \fBcm_flags\fR field is set, the medium
|
|
changer is instructed to flip the medium while moving it.
|
|
.It Dv CHIOEXCHANGE
|
|
.Pq Li "struct changer_exchange"
|
|
Move the medium located in the source element to the first destination
|
|
element, and move the medium that had been in the first destination
|
|
element to the second destination element. In case of a simple
|
|
exchange, the source and second destination elements should be the
|
|
same. The current picker is used to perform the operation. The
|
|
addresses of the affected elements is specified to the ioctl in a
|
|
changer_exchange structure which includes at least the following
|
|
fields:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
u_int ce_srctype; /* element type of source */
|
|
u_int ce_srcunit; /* logical unit of source */
|
|
u_int ce_fdsttype; /* element type of first destination */
|
|
u_int ce_fdstunit; /* logical unit of first destination */
|
|
u_int ce_sdsttype; /* element type of second destination */
|
|
u_int ce_sdstunit; /* logical unit of second destination */
|
|
u_int ce_flags; /* misc. flags */
|
|
.Ed
|
|
In \fBce_flags\fR, \fBCM_INVERT1\fR and/or \fBCM_INVERT2\fR may be set
|
|
to flip the first or second medium during the exchange operation,
|
|
respectively.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
\fIThis operation is untested.\fR
|
|
.It Dv CHIOPOSITION
|
|
.Pq Li "struct changer_position"
|
|
Position the current picker in front of the specified element. The
|
|
element is specified with a changer_position structure, which includes
|
|
at least the following elements:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
u_int cp_type; /* element type */
|
|
u_int cp_unit; /* logical unit of element */
|
|
u_int cp_flags; /* misc. flags */
|
|
.Ed
|
|
The \fBcp_flags\fR field may be set to \fBCP_INVERT\fR to invert the
|
|
picker during the operation.
|
|
.It Dv CHIOGPICKER
|
|
.Pq Li "int"
|
|
Return the logical address of the current picker.
|
|
.It Dv CHIOSPICKER
|
|
.Pq Li "int"
|
|
Select the picker specified by the given logical address.
|
|
.It Dv CHIOGPARAMS
|
|
.Pq Li "struct changer_params"
|
|
Return the configuration parameters for the media changer. This ioctl
|
|
fills the changer_params structure passed by the user with at least the
|
|
following fields:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
u_int cp_npickers; /* number of pickers */
|
|
u_int cp_nslots; /* number of slots */
|
|
u_int cp_nportals; /* number of import/export portals */
|
|
u_int cp_ndrives; /* number of drives */
|
|
|
|
.Ed
|
|
This call can be used by applications to query the dimensions of
|
|
the jukebox before using the \fBCHIGSTATUS\fR
|
|
ioctl to query the jukebox' status.
|
|
.It Dv CHIOIELEM
|
|
Perform the \fBINITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS\fR call on the media changer
|
|
device. This forces the media changer to update it's internal status
|
|
information with respect to loaded media. It also scans any barcode
|
|
labels provided that it has a label reader. The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver's status is not affected by this call.
|
|
.It Dv CHIOGSTATUS
|
|
.Pq Li "struct changer_element_status_request"
|
|
Perform the \fBREAD ELEMENT STATUS\fR call on the media changer
|
|
device. This call reads the element status information of the media
|
|
changer and converts it to an array of \fBchanger_element_status\fR
|
|
structures.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
With each call to
|
|
.Dv CHIOGSTATUS
|
|
, the status of one or more elements of one type may be queried.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The application passes a changer_element_status_request structure to the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver which contains the following fields:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
u_int cesr_element_type;
|
|
u_int cesr_element_base;
|
|
u_int cesr_element_count;
|
|
u_int cesr_flags;
|
|
struct changer_element_status *cesr_element_status;
|
|
|
|
.Ed
|
|
This structure is read by the driver to determine the type, logical
|
|
base address and number of elements for which information is to be
|
|
returned in the array of changer_element_status structures pointed to
|
|
by the cesr_element_status field. The application must allocate enough
|
|
memory for cesr_element_count status structures (see below).
|
|
The cesr_flags can optionally be set to
|
|
.Dv CESR_VOLTAGS
|
|
to indicate that volume tag (bar code) information is to be read from
|
|
the jukebox and returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The cesr_element_base and cesr_element_count fields must be valid with
|
|
respect to the physical configuration of the changer. If they are
|
|
not, the
|
|
.Dv CHIOGSTATUS
|
|
ioctl returns the
|
|
.Er EINVAL
|
|
error code.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The information about the elements is returned in an array of
|
|
changer_element_status structures. This structure include at least
|
|
the following fields:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
u_int ces_addr; /* element address in media changer */
|
|
u_char ces_flags; /* see CESTATUS definitions below */
|
|
u_char ces_sensecode; /* additional sense code for element */
|
|
u_char ces_sensequal; /* additional sense code qualifier */
|
|
u_char ces_invert; /* invert bit */
|
|
u_char ces_svalid; /* source address (ces_source) valid */
|
|
u_short ces_source; /* source address of medium */
|
|
changer_voltag_t ces_pvoltag; /* primary volume tag */
|
|
changer_voltag_t ces_avoltag; /* alternate volume tag */
|
|
u_char ces_idvalid; /* ces_scsi_id is valid */
|
|
u_char ces_scsi_id; /* SCSI id of element (if ces_idvalid is nonzero) */
|
|
u_char ces_lunvalid; /* ces_scsi_lun is valid */
|
|
u_char ces_scsi_lun; /* SCSI lun of elemtne (if ces_lunvalid is nonzero) */
|
|
|
|
.Ed
|
|
The ces_addr field contains the address of the element in the
|
|
coordinate system of the media changer. It is not used by the driver,
|
|
and should be used for diagnostic purposes only.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following flags are defined for the \fBces_flags\fR field:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width CESTATUS_IMPEXP
|
|
.It Dv CESTATUS_FULL
|
|
A medium is present.
|
|
.It Dv CESTATUS_IMPEXP
|
|
The medium has been deposited by the operator (and not by a picker).
|
|
.It Dv CESTATUS_EXCEPT
|
|
The element is in an exceptional state (e.g. invalid barcode label,
|
|
barcode not yet scanned).
|
|
.It Dv CESTATUS_ACCESS
|
|
The element is accessible by the picker.
|
|
.It Dv CESTATUS_EXENAB
|
|
The element supports medium export.
|
|
.It Dv CESTATUS_INENAB
|
|
The element supports medium import.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that not all flags are valid for all element types.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
This version of the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver has been tested with a DEC TZ875 (5 slot, one DLT drive) and a
|
|
and a Breece Hill Q47 (60 slot, four DLT drives, barcode reader).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Many of the features the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver supports are not thouroghly tested due to the fact that the
|
|
devices available for testing do not support the necessary commands.
|
|
This is true for alternate volume tags, media flipping, import/export
|
|
element handling, multiple picker operation and other things.
|
