The Pioneer DRM-5004x offers 4 drives and room for 500 CDs. Both the
robot and the drives are controlled by SCSI. So the drives can read data
while the changer is moving a CD through the large jukebox.
The jukebox has a virtual mail slot which is in fact a position of the
changer. Use
cdadm -f insert device
to move the changer halfway up and stop it. By specifying the -f switch
the command returns as soon as the jukebox door may be opened. (which
is, unfortunately, not so easy and requires some some power and/or skill).
The time-out for the disk-change is specified by the trayto parameter
(see “Server parameters” on page 123). Otherwise the jukebox resumes
normal operation. Insert a CD in the changer and close the door again.
iXOS-JUKEMAN waits for the door to be closed and moves the CD to an
empty slot. Afterwards, the accumulated file system requests queue is
worked off. As iXOS-JUKEMAN is monitoring the door status, there is no
need to issue the command
cdadm testcd device
to tell the server the CD change is finished.
Similarly, using the command
cdadm -f remove device
