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： A rewind tape drive is disclosed for a tape library for rewinding a tape upon a read/write tape drive of the library completing reading and/or writing a tape. In some instances, the tape may be positioned close to the beginning of tape at the completion of reading and/or writing. Thus, the disclosed invention may additionally, upon completion of reading and/or writing a tape, determine whether the time required for the tape drive to rewind the tape exceeds a predetermined time, and transport the tape to the rewind unit only upon exceeding the predetermined time. The predetermined time may comprise the time required for unloading the tape from the read/write tape drive to an accessor, the time required for the accessor to transport the tape to the rewind unit, and the time required to load the transported tape into the rewind unit. A predetermined algorithm may be employed to compare the time required for the tape drive to rewind a tape to the time required for the rewind unit to rewind the tape plus the unload/transport/load time.
摘要翻译：公开了一种用于磁带库的倒带磁带驱动器，用于在完成读取和/或写入磁带的库的读/写磁带驱动器上重绕磁带。在某些情况下，在读取和/或写入完成时，磁带可以定位成靠近磁带的开头。因此，所公开的发明可以另外在完成读取和/或写入磁带时确定磁带驱动器重绕磁带所需的时间是否超过预定时间，并且仅在超过预定时间才将磁带传送到重绕单元时间。预定时间可以包括将磁带从读/写磁带驱动器卸载到存取器所需的时间，存取器将磁带传送到重绕单元所需的时间以及将传送的磁带装载到倒带中所需的时间单元。可以采用预定的算法来比较磁带驱动器将磁带重绕所需的时间与倒带单元重绕磁带加上卸载/传送/加载时间所需的时间。

摘要： An intelligent bus listening device, and a method which may be implemented as a computer program product, listens to SCSI commands on a first SCSI bus of a SCSI system via a listening connection to the first SCSI bus. The listening device is separately coupled via an interface to a second bus for communicating commands onto the second bus. A processor is coupled to the listening connection and to the second bus interface, the processor receiving the first commands from the first SCSI bus, converting the first commands to second commands related to the first commands, and providing the second commands to the second bus interface. In a SCSI library that accesses media from storage shelves with an autochanger in response to access commands from hosts, the intelligent bus listening device decouples the first SCSI bus from the autochanger, listens to commands on the first SCSI bus, and converts the access commands to a more efficient set of movement commands, and supplies the movement commands on a separate second bus for the autochanger.

摘要： Multiple intelligent pickers for an automated data storage library, the library having a library controller which identifies the start and end locations of the received move jobs, and places the move jobs in a job queue. The picker processor receives information over a communication link from other pickers describing movement information for the current move job of each of the other pickers. Upon completion of a move job, the picker communicates with the library controller, selecting a move job which avoids interference with the movement of the other pickers. The movement for the selected move job is determined so as to avoid interference with the stored movement profiles of the other pickers. A movement profile may be communicated to the other pickers over the communication link, and the move job is conducted according to the movement profile. Alternatively, movement information comprising the current location and vector are communicated.

摘要： A bi-level power saving method for a computer having one level of power saving operations that is executed when the computer is operating on an external power source and another level of power saving operations that is executed when the computer is operating on an internal power source. The method determines whether the computer is operating on an external power source or an internal power source. No preferences for tasks or devices are designated if the computer is operating on an external power source and activity and application have been detected. Various power consuming operations are executed if the computer is operating on an external power source and activity is detected but an application is not detected. The computer powers down devices if the computer is operating on an external power source and no activity is detected. Power saving operations are executed if the computer is operating on an internal power source and activity and application have been detected. Power consuming operations are inhibited if the computer is operating on an internal power source and activity is detected but application is not detected. The operator may override or choose the inhibiting/executing of the power consuming operations.

摘要： A wireless communication link provides picker to picker communication between multiple intelligent pickers for an automated data storage library, and provides central communication between at least one of the pickers with a central job queue. Each intelligent picker comprises a processor located thereon for operating the picker to conduct a move job and providing movement information describing movement of the picker for the current move job of the picker. The wireless communication link comprises a wireless central communication link between at least one of the pickers and a central job queue for communicating a move job to the picker processor from the central job queue, and a wireless picker to picker communication link for communicating between the pickers, each linked picker transmitting the movement information over the wireless picker to picker communication link.

摘要： Disclosed are an automated data storage library having a plurality of pickers with multiple grippers and a method for operating the library to respond to received input commands which require an exchange of media at a point of exchange (e.g., at a storage slot or read/write station), by first determining whether the source and destination locations for the media to be exchanged are on opposite sides of the point of exchange. Next, if the source and destination locations for the media to be exchanged are on opposite sides of the point of exchange, the exchange is decomposed into separate moves, and each of the separate moves is assigned to a different one of the pickers. The assignment may additionally comprise ordering the sequence of the separate moves so that the fetch of a medium from the point of exchange precedes the delivery of another medium to the point of exchange, and the picker selected to fetch the medium from the point of exchange is the picker having an available gripper which is closest to the destination location.
