ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for the Media Robot Utility on OpenVMS Alpha V6.2
through V7.2-1. This kit addresses the following problems:
o In case of an ESL 9000(multitower) with 3 units of
ESL9326D, 'read element status'(RES) for SLOTS could not be
issued. This problem was noticed with respect to the
"robot find cartridge" command.
The problem was analysed to occur due to a VMS imposed restriction
that RES could return data of length 64K or less only.
In case of the ESL9326D the returned data length would be
978 X 88 = 86064.
The fix for this problem involved capturing return values
larger than the allowed length, in parts and thus
fitting the RES of the SLOTS within the permitted length.
o In case of a multitude of PORTS in use, time taken for
GUI and CLI commands to execute used to be high because
of too many RES in use. This problem has been fixed in
this ECO by the use of a single RES instead of many.
o The MRU-UNIX command "robot show drive", showed drives of
only one unit, as "Available". This problem has been
fixed in this ECO, all drives will now be "available".
o New Features:
-------------
New functionality comprises, additional support for the following:
a) TSL10000
b) SSL2000
c) Tru64 UNIX V4.0G
d) Tru64 Unix V5.0 and 5.0A (with restrictions. For details
refer refer to Chapter 3 of COMPAQ Media Robot Utility - Guide
to Installation, Connectivity, and Operation.)
