摘要： Storage shelves of a mass data storage library are organized into a plurality of subsets for the purpose of conducting an inventory of media stored in the shelves. In response to an inventory command, the inventory is conducted in a predetermined order by subset. Upon completion of the inventory of each subset, the completion is posted in a list. A command input detects newly issued commands (subsequent to the inventory command), and places them in a queue. After completion of the inventory of a subset, and upon detecting a command for a non-inventory process (such as a media move), the inventory is interrupted and stopped. The move is conducted, and, upon completion of the move, the inventory is resumed. If a newly issued command is an inventory command, the inventory command is incorporated into the inventory process.

摘要： A converter is utilized with at least one implicit addressing sequential media device to simulate explicit addressing sequential media device performance from the perspective of host applications. Responsive to receiving explicit addressing read/write commands from the host application, the converter converts the explicit addressing read/write commands into implicit addressing read/write commands and passes the implicit addressing read/write commands through to the device. Optionally, responsive to device capability queries from a host application, the converter reports that the device utilizes explicit addressing. As another option, responsive to receiving commands other than explicit addressing read/write commands from the application host, the converter examines the commands to monitor sequential media address, and relays the commands to the device substantially free of any modification.

摘要： A virtual sequential data storage (VSDS) system includes a VSDS controller coupled to physical data storage and a host machine with at least one host application. The controller is configured to carry out commands from the host application referencing VSDS. A router installed at the host intercepts prescribed types of host application commands directed to the controller. For each intercepted read/write command, the router determines a target physical location in physical data storage to carry out the intercepted host read/write command. Also, if the host application command is a read command, the router transfers data requested by the read command from the target physical location to the host application bypassing the controller. If the host application command is a write command, the router transfers write data associated with the write command from the host application to the target physical location bypassing the controller.

摘要： A method, embodiable in computer readable program code, and a SCSI multiport device allow multiple hosts to be coupled to associated device ports of the multiport device. Using standard SCSI signaling, any host port may reserve the multiport device at its one associated device port. In response to a Reservation command, the multiport device is reserved in accordance with standard SCSI protocol. The method implements, at all the device ports other than the one device port, OFFLINE or status signaling which indicates that the multiport device is unavailable or offline. In response to a Device Reset from the one host port, the method operates the multiport device in accordance with standard SCSI protocol, including resetting the reservation of the multiport device, and additionally maintains the implemented OFFLINE or status signaling. Then, in response to a Release command from the one host port, the reservation of the multiport device is released in accordance with standard SCSI protocol, and additionally the OFFLINE or status signaling is terminated.

摘要： In a data storage subsystem, drive-level processing treats data storage media as WORM by automatically advancing a write append limiter as data is written, and preventing changes to data occurring before the write append limiter. Despite this media's WORM nature, the drive-level processing permits limited overwriting of data at the end of tape since the write append limiter lags the current write location by the margin of a write allowance index. Thus, despite the drive's treatment of the media as WORM, the drive permits overwriting of trailing metadata in order to facilitate write append operations.
摘要翻译：在数据存储子系统中，驱动器级处理将数据存储介质视为WORM，通过在写入数据时自动推进写追加限制器，并防止写附加限制器之前发生的数据发生变化。尽管该媒体的WORM性质，驱动器级别处理允许在磁带结束时有限地重写数据，因为写入附加限制器滞后于写入容限索引的边缘。因此，尽管驱动器将媒体处理为WORM，但驱动器允许重写后续元数据，以便于写入附加操作。

摘要： Drive image providers of a virtualization system for an automated data storage library provide an image of a fixed plurality of virtual data storage drives with fixed identifications to a host application. A drive resource provider, at any one time, assigns any number “m” of a pool of “n” drives to the drive image providers, and “n”−“m” of the pool are freed and available for assignment. The drive resource provider responds to a triggering event requesting a drive, and dedicates one of the “n”−“m” drives of the pool to the virtual drive. The drive image provider characterizes and directs communication between the host and the dedicated drive as a fixed virtual drive; and prior to the dedication of a drive, characterizes the virtual drive to the requesting host application as “not ready”.

摘要： A data storage library utilizes library-local features to regulate access to shared read/write drives among multiple hosts, and thereby avoid the need for arbitrating host software. The library includes multiple data storage media, multiple data storage media slots, multiple read/write drives, and a library controller. The slots are originally partitioned into multiple logical libraries. Normally, the library shares the read/write drives among all hosts. However, when a host submits a request to unload a cartridge from a read/write drive, the library only honors that request if the host has access rights to the logical library from where the cartridge was originally loaded. Similarly, for each slot, the controller prevents a requesting host from loading a cartridge from that storage slot unless the requesting host has access rights to the logical library that includes that storage slot.
摘要翻译：数据存储库利用库本地功能来调节对多个主机之间的共享读/写驱动器的访问，从而避免对主机软件进行仲裁的需要。该库包括多个数据存储介质，多个数据存储介质插槽，多个读/写驱动器和库控制器。这些插槽最初被分成多个逻辑库。通常，库在所有主机之间共享读/写驱动器。但是，当主机提交从读/写驱动器卸载盒式磁带的请求时，如果主机具有对最初加载盒式磁带的逻辑库的访问权限，则库仅支持该请求。类似地，对于每个插槽，控制器防止请求主机从该存储插槽加载盒式磁带，除非请求主机对包括该存储槽的逻辑库具有访问权限。

摘要： A data storage library features a dual purpose data/control path between a host computer and one or more media drives. The dual purpose path conveys data exchange control signals and related data between the host and drive, and also conveys robotic device management signals from the host to the drive, for ultimate conveyance to a robotic device coupled to the drive. In one embodiment, the drives may comprise relay drives, each directly coupled to the robotic device by a communications path such as a bus or loop. Alternatively, the drives may include a master drive and a number of relay drives, each relay drive coupled to the master drive to relay robotic device management signals from its host to the robotic device through the master drive. The master media drive's connection to other drives, for example, may be direct or through a communications loop interconnecting all drives.
