Operating Systems:
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
mtx 1.2 is currently known to work flawlessly under the following
|
|
operating systems:
|
|
|
|
Linux (2.2.5 kernel and above)
|
|
FreeBSD (tested with versions 3.2 and above, but should work for all 3.x
|
|
and 4.x).
|
|
|
|
Various people have reported that they have managed to make mtx work
|
|
on various versions of Solaris. Please check the mtx list archives (
|
|
http://mtx.sourceforge.net ) to see how they've done it.
|
|
|
|
IRIX 6.5 apparently works flawlessly:
|
|
|
|
(Richard.Lefebvre(@AROBAS)cerca(.POINT)umontreal(.POINT)ca):
|
|
I just wanted to send you 1 or 2 comments on mtx. I just downloaded it
|
|
last friday to use with and SGI Origin2000 and an 8 slot DLT autoloader.
|
|
The whole thing compiled fine (under gcc).
|
|
|
|
From Dan Wright (dtwright at uiuc dot uiuc.edu):
|
|
I just wanted to send an e-mail to let you know that mtx 1.2.9
|
|
works great for me on IRIX 6.5 with an ADIC FastStor DLT8000.
|
|
IRIX 6.5 has a generic scsi interface installed by default, so to
|
|
access the autoloader I use "mtx -f /dev/scsi/sc1d1l0" (bus 1 id 1
|
|
lun 0).

The following has been directly tested:
|
|
|
|
* Exabyte 220 with 1 drive (21 slots)
|
|
* Exabyte 220 with 2 drives (21 slots)
|
|
* Exabyte EZ-17 (7 slots)
|
|
Known quirks: Must eject tape using 'mt' or 'tapectl' prior to using
|
|
the 'unload' command.
|
|
|
|
* Seagate DDS-4 DAT AutoLoader (1 drive, 6 slots)
|
|
Product ID: 'DAT 06241-XXX'
|
|
Known quirks: Uses LUN 1 for robot. On Linux, must compile kernel with
|
|
"Scan SCSI LUNs" or add the following line to your /etc/lilo.conf (and
|
|
re-run /sbin/lilo):
|
|
append="max_scsi_luns=2"
|
|
|
|
* DISC D-40 optical library (2 drives, 40 slots, 1 import/export): Yes,
|
|
it really does report that it's a Maxoptix!
|
|
Product Type: Medium Changer

|

The following have been tested by others, and information may be
|
|
incomplete or in error even.
|
|
|
|
* Compaq DLT Library 20/40, 1 drive 15 slots (antony at elizatravel dot com)
|
|
Vendor: HP Model: C5173-4000
|
|
|
|
* Vendor ID: 'ADIC ' (boris dot klug at ibs dash ag dot de)
|
|
Product ID: 'VLS DLT ' 7 slot 1 import/export 1 drive.
|
|
|
|
* Unknown Overland changer (phreno at pacbell dot net):

|
|
|
|
* "old Exabyte 10e tape loaders" (drew at pctc dot com)
|
|
|
|
* Unknown HP DLT changer: (eric at collab dot net)

|
|
|
|
* "Lago Sys LS-380L/StorageTek 9704/Imation ITL-2225 (mine's a
|
|
StorageTek labeled)" 25-slot, 2-drive, 1-arm, 1-import/export
|
|
(eswan at lips dot net)
|
|
|
|
* HP SureStore Optical 80fx. (mmarchione at nyhomes dot org )
|
|
Vendor: HP Model: C1160F Rev: 0.40
|
|
Type: Medium Changer ANSI SCSI revision: 02
|
|
|
|
* Breece Hill tape library (unknown configuration, unknown reporter):
|
|
Vendor ID: 'BHTI'
|
|
Product ID: 'Q2 '
|
|
Oddities: Must either turn on auto-inventory, or run 'mtx inventory'
|
|
prior to running any other mtx command. Reads bar codes by yanking
|
|
tapes out of slots and waving them in front of bar code reader, so
|
|
inventory of tapes with no bar code is VERY slow (bar code your tapes!).
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Seagate Scorpion DDS-3 4-tape autochanger
|
|
(jsled at normandy dot smarttouch dot com):
|
|
Vendor ID: 'ARCHIVE '
|
|
Product ID: 'Python 04377-XXX'
|
|
|
|
* Overland 15 tape 1 drive DLT changer: (asmith at umdgrb dot umd dot edu)
|
|
Vendor ID: 'OVERLAND'
|
|
Product ID: 'LXB '
|
|
|
|
* ADIC DAT AutoChanger -- 1 drive, 12 slots, 1 import-export:
|
|
Vendor ID: 'ADIC ' (andrew_gray at irobotics dot com)
|
|
Product ID: 'DAT AutoChanger '
|
|
Quirks: firmware version 0357 does not appear to work w/mtx (request
|
|
from ADIC that they upgrade your firmeware to 0361, which does
|
|
seem to work), firmware version revision `0462` does work. Use
|
|
'mtx inquiry' to detirmine which firmware you have.
|
|
|
|
* HP 1/20 DLT loader: "We have a HP 1/20, but I think it's all the
|
|
same hardware. mtx works fine with it." (jo2y at midnightlinux dot com)
|
|
|
|
* Exabyte 120 (116 slots, 4 tape drives): (wsb at paralleldata dot com)
|
|
Quirks: This loader does not properly support the loader slot assignment
|
|
page used to allocate element structures, so the #defines must be
|
|
changed in mtx.h for MAX_STORAGE_ELEMENTS, MAX_TRANSFER_ELEMENTS, and
|
|
MAX_TRANSPORT_ELEMENTS. May also need to increase the SCSI timeout to
|
|
do inventories. Takes a LONG time to do inventories if you don't have
|
|
bar codes!
|
|
|
|
* Exabyte 210 (wsb at paralleldata dot com)
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
* Ecrix AutoPak VXA (15-slot 1 drive) in configuration mode 0 (mark

"This drive can be configured to emulate several types, but I've
|
|
only tested it in this one mode."
