摘要： In an optical data storage device for storing data on a removable optical disk in a continuous sequence of sectors or blocks, the input data buffer includes an ECC process. A padding provider is disclosed which is responsive to an under-run indication for providing padding characters for formatting the storage into sectors. The sectors may be provided with headers indicating the “padding sectors”. A reading device for reading the data sectors and providing the data to a host detects padding and prevents the padding data from being transmitted to the host.

摘要： A unique and permanent identifier is provided for removable media. The identifier is preferably recorded in a previously unused or reserved portion of the media and can be generated from a combination of the originating drive serial number and the current date and time with a random number concatenated thereto. When a piece of media is loaded into a drive, the drive examines the reserved area for the presence of an identifier. If not present, the drive generates and records an identifier before performing whatever disk access operations have been requested. If the identifier is present, the drive is prevented from overwriting the identifier with a new one and the disk access operations are performed immediately. Once the media is provided with its identifier, the media, and any errors associated with the media, can be tracked throughout its life.
摘要翻译：为可移动媒体提供了一个独特且永久的标识符。该标识符优选地被记录在媒体的先前未被使用或保留的部分中，并且可以从始发驱动器序列号与当前日期和时间的组合以及与之连接的随机数生成。当一块介质加载到驱动器中时，驱动器检查保留区域以确定是否存在标识符。如果不存在，则在执行任何请求磁盘访问操作之前，驱动器生成并记录标识符。如果存在标识符，则防止驱动器用新的标识符重写，并且立即执行磁盘访问操作。一旦媒体被提供其标识符，媒体和与媒体相关的任何错误，可以在其一生中被跟踪。

摘要： Disclosed are an automated data storage library and a method for operating the library. The library includes two pickers arranged on a common guideway; a plurality of media storage slots arranged in a plurality of regions alongside the guideway; a plurality of read/write stations arranged in regions alongside the guideway. Commands are received for jobs to move media amongst the storage slots and the read/write stations, and a controller queues the received commands and allocates the queued commands to the pickers and in an order of jobs which will allow the pickers to independently access and move the media so as to avoid interference in the same region, or in regions which are behind the other picker. The media storage slots may be arranged in row sets and regions alongside the guideway, each row set including one or more storage slots and each region including one or more columns, with the regions narrower than the pickers. The controller queues the received commands and allocates the queued commands to the pickers and in an order of jobs so as to allow the pickers to independently access and move the media to avoid interference in the same row set in adjacent regions, in the same region, or in regions which are behind the other picker.

摘要： An automated library is disclosed for storing and retrieving data storage cartridges having a plurality of rotatable stacks, all rotatable about parallel axes, each stack being multi-faced and preferably rectangular. A column of cells for storing data cartridges is provided in each of at least two of the faces of the rectangular stacks, and the columns of cells are aligned parallel to the axis of the associated stack. At least one read/write drive is provided for reading and/or writing the data storage cartridges, and preferably a read/write drive is provided at the base of each rotatable stack. A picker is rotatable about an axis parallel to the axes of the rotatable stacks, for accessing the data storage cartridges stored in the cells, and for transporting the cartridges between the cells and a read/write drive. Servo systems rotate the rotatable stacks and the rotatable picker into mutually facing positions for accessing the cells of columns of the stacks with the rotatable picker.

摘要： An apparatus and method are provided for amortizing the adverse performance impact of an erase-write-verify process for rewritable optical disks, with its numerous delays, over multiple sectors. A block of data to be written to a sector on a particular track of the disk is transferred from the host to a cache storage device. When a predetermined number of blocks to be written to the track have accumulated in the cache, destaging will occur. Those sectors to which the blocks will be written are erased in a single pass. Then the blocks are written to the erased sectors in the next pass. Verification of the written data, if desired, can be performed in a third pass. Consequently, only two passes per track (or three, if verification is desired) are required to record data from the host to the disk instead of two passes (or three) per block using conventional methods and the seek and latency delays are also reduced. Multiple tracks can be destaged in an order established by a controller. Immediate destaging can occur if an event occurs requiring destaging which would otherwise jeopardize the integrity of the blocks of data retained in the cache.

摘要： In an automated storage and retrieval library system, a library controller is directed to examine a command queue, as well as the state of the grippers and the state of the data drive units. In general, upon completion of the examination, the controller determines whether an additional command, currently in the queue, can be executed in conjunction with (that is, before, during or after) execution of the current command, thereby optimizing the utilization of the accessor. For example, if the accessor is to execute an exchange command, a move command might be in the queue which requires moving a cartridge from the area in which the accessor will be located after the exchange is made but before the exchanged cartridge is moved to a new location. In such an event, the controller will direct that the move command be overlapped with the second half of the exchange command by using the empty gripper. Execution of other commands can be overlapped with the first half of exchange commands or can be performed in conjunction with move commands.

摘要： A system for optimizing the position and use of cartridges of machine-readable data storage media in an automated super library. The invention is implemented in a super library that includes a main library bin with a plurality of cartridge slots, a picker, and multiple small libraries, where each small library has a small library bin with multiple slots, a picker, and at least one data drive. Mount queue times are estimated for each small library, and a main library picker is selectively operated to transfer cartridges between the small libraries based on the estimated mount queue times. This provides expedited access of the cartridges at the small libraries. The host processor maintains requests for such inter-library transfers in a main picker queue, for processing by the main picker. When each small library has a non-empty mount queue, the main picker processes small libraries' cartridge transfer requests by efficiently distributing cartridges along the small libraries. In addition to these demand-based transfer requests, the main picker regularly performs load-leveling between the small libraries and the main library bin, to ensure that the higher demand cartridges are stored in the small library bins rather than the main library bin. The invention also contemplates one or more priority slots in each small library, to store cartridges designated for high priority use.
