摘要： Disclosed is a combined pass through and load/unload system for automated data storage libraries. Separate portals open into each of the libraries. A pivoting robot supports a housing which is capable of supporting at least one removable multi-cartridge magazine, and pivots about a pivot axis. An actuator withdraws or extends the housing toward or away from the pivot axis. A pass through controller operates the pivoting robot to position the housing at a portal and operates the actuator to extend the housing into the portal so that the library may load and/or unload the data storage media into or out of the removable magazine(s) in the housing. The controller then operates the actuator and robot to withdraw the housing out of the portal. The controller may position the housing at the bulk load/unload position so an operator may unload and/or load magazines from the housing. The controller may position the housing at the portal of the other library to allow the transfer of media thereto. Each library may have a pass through controller and the other library may position and extend the housing into its portal, whereby the picker of the other library may unload the data storage media.

摘要： A method and apparatus that enables multiple host connections with a multi-library system that allows dynamic tracking of all physical cartridge locations and provides continuous updates, while intercepting move or exchange commands from multiple hosts, converting them to the physical element address locations, and executing the commands. The system having a switching matrix for selectively connecting a plurality of hosts to drives for reading and writing data on data storage media, logic, operatively coupled to switching matrix, for providing a control signal to the switching matrix to connect a first host to a first drive, accessor controller for providing control signals to at least one accessor for instructing the at least one accessor to access data storage media in the library system and to move data storage media between the bins and the drives, and a processor, operatively coupled to the logic and the accessor controller, for controlling the logic and the accessor controller in response to a command from the first host to move a desired data storage media to the first drive and to read and write data on the desired data storage media.
摘要翻译：一种能够与多库系统进行多个主机连接的方法和装置，其允许动态跟踪所有物理盒位置并提供持续更新，同时拦截从多个主机移动或交换命令，将其转换为物理元件地址位置，并执行命令。该系统具有用于选择性地将多个主机连接到驱动器的驱动器，用于对可操作地耦合到开关矩阵的数据存储介质逻辑进行读取和写入，用于向切换矩阵提供控制信号以将第一主机连接到第一主机驱动器，访问器控制器，用于向至少一个访问器提供控制信号，用于指示所述至少一个访问者访问所述库系统中的数据存储介质并且在所述区域和所述驱动器之间移动数据存储介质;以及处理器，逻辑和访问器控制器，用于响应于来自第一主机的命令来控制逻辑和存取器控制器，以将期望的数据存储介质移动到第一驱动器并且读取和写入期望的数据存储介质上的数据。
