In Windows 200x, the addresses are remapped such that the first element of each
type is mapped to 0, the second element is mapped to 1, and so on. Issue a
return_lib_inventory_all
command to obtain the mapping.
FUNCTION Tested:
This command calls the device driver DeviceIoControl entry point with an opcode
of MOVE_MEDIUM. This attempts to move a data cartridge from a source element
location to a destination element location inside the library. If this command is
successful, the information returned is displayed. In Windows NT, the source and
destination addresses are the decimal equivalents of the hexidecimal Element
Addresses described in the appropriate hardware manuals. In Windows 2000,
Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008, the addresses are remapped such
that the first element of each type is mapped to 0, the second element is mapped
to 1, and so on. Issue a
return_lib_inventory_all
command to obtain the mapping.
open:
SYNTAX: open <tape-special-file-name> <changer-special-file-name> RW RO
where RW means read/write
RO means read only
The tape-special-file-name is in the form of tapen, and n is a numeric
value from 0...x, the value is assigned by the device driver during the
boot process and can be found using the interactive modes option 50 poll
registered devices. This value may be specified explicitly in the open
statement or overridden using the command-line -t option.
The changer-special-file-name, supported on Windows NT, is in the form of
lbw.x.y.z, w is the device SCSI ID, x is the changer device LUN (usually 1),
y is the adapter SCSI bus (usually 0), and z is the port number where the
SCSI adapter resides.
These values are assigned during the boot process and
can be found using the interactive modes option 50 poll registered devices.
On Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008, it is in the
form Changerx, where x is a numeric value, usually starting with 0.
This may also contain the value def_lun_1 in which case the utility will
open LUN 1 associated with the tape-special-file-name. This value may be
specified explicitly in the open statement or overridden using the
command-line -c option. If this value is specified, the tape-special-file-name
must be specified.
For example:
open RW
means open the default tape-special-file-name and
changer-special-file-name if in library mode or those
special file names specified by the -t and -c options
open tapex RW
means open tapex and if in library mode the default
changer-special-file-name. The -t and -c options will
override tapex and lbw.x.y.z. The mode will be RW.
open tapex lbw.x.y.z RW
means open tapex and if in library mode the changer
special file lbw.x.y.z. The -t and -c options will
override tapex and lbw.x.y.z. The mode will be RW.
FUNCTION Tested:
This command calls the device driver CreateFile entry point. It attempts to open a
tape device special file for LUN0 and LUN1.
