Using iXOS-JUKEMAN
iXOS-JUKEMAN 2.2 User Manual Pre.12/97120
i) For single drives and drives in tower jukeboxes a disk change is very
easy: Just insert the disks into or remove them from the drives. No inter-
action with the server is required. The server will check these drives for
disk changes periodically (see parameter dcheck in “Server parameters”
on page 123). The changed disks do not have to be tested anymore, as
with earlier versions of iXOS-JUKEMAN. Please note that for this feature
to work on Windows NT, the autorun feature has to be disabled (see page
23).
ii) The jukebox provides a separate mail slot.
cdadm remove <device>
instructs the server to move a disk from the jukebox to the mail slot. If the
jukebox contains a bad disk it is moved to the mail slot preferably. Other-
wise the server moves the first found disk to the mail slot. For nearly all
jukebox types, the mail slot will be ejected automatically. You must then
take out the disk and close the mail slot again. With the Kubik jukebox
after the acoustic signal the mail slots can be opened manually. Then you
can take out the disk and close the mail slot again.
To insert a disk use the command:
cdadm insert <device>
This command instructs the server to search a free slot and then open the
tray or release the mail slot. Insert a disk and press the Enter button or
close the mail slot. The jukebox tests the disk afterwards.
You can restrict the choice of disks or slots using additional parameters:
cdadm remove <device> <name>
instructs the server, to remove a disk called <name> in the default name
format.
cdadm insert <device> 20-30
instructs the server to import a disk into one of the slots 20 through 30. An
error message is printed if none of these slots is empty.
Similarly:
cdadm remove <device> 27
instructs the server to remove the disk in slot 27.
