Applies to:

Sun Storage L25 Tape Library
Sun QFS and Storage Archive Manager (SAM) - Version: 3.5 to 4.1   [Release: to 4.0]
All Platforms
***Checked for relevance on 04-Aug-2011***

Goal

The robotic emulation for the Sun StorEdge L25 Tape Library and Sun StorEdge L100 Tape Library is configurable via the front panel of the library. For Sun[TM] libraries, the default vendor and product strings should be "M4 DATA" and "MagFile" respectively. However, if purchased by a 3rd party, any one of the 3 emulation types could be configured:

"M4 DATA"  "MagFile"
"ATL"      "1500"
"ATL"      "M2500"

The vendor and product strings can be seen in the device logs if SAM-FS has already tried to initialize the library:

2004/10/12 18:00:02*0000 Initialized. rb
2004/10/12 18:00:02*1002 Device is M4 DATA , MagFile
2004/10/12 18:00:02*1003 Serial JGE25A0131, rev 3.073.07

If the 'M4 DATA' entry is missing from the inquiry.conf(4), then the following error may be seen:

2004/10/12 18:00:02*0000 Initialized. rb
2004/10/12 18:00:02*1002 Device is M4 DATA , MagFile
2004/10/12 18:00:02*1011 Error: Unknown device:  Update /etc/opt/SUNWsamfs/inquiry.conf (see inquiry.conf(4)
2004/10/12 18:00:02*1009 Changing state to OFF

Solution

The "1500" and "M2500" strings are already present in the inquiry.conf(4). And, starting in SAM-QFS 4.2, the "M4 DATA" emulation type is already included as well. However, previous versions of SAM-FS will require you to add the next line manually :

"M4 DATA",      "MagFile",      "atl1500"       # Sun L25 tape library 

As an example, the 4.2 inquiry.conf(4) has the following:

"ATL",          "1500",         "atl1500"       # ATL M1500 tape library
"ATL",          "M2500",        "atl1500"       # ATL M2500 tape library
"M4 DATA",      "MagFile",      "atl1500"       # Sun L25 tape library

Once this file has been edited, run 'samd config' to reread this file and recognize the change.
