Hello MRU guru's A customer of mine is wanting to know the answer to the following. We have two TL822's which we intend to join together in a master/slave configuration. We also have Media Robot Utility v1.1 which we intend to use, via Digital Unix 3.2G, to drive the robots. The SPD for MRU says that TL822's are supported, but does not say if the master/slave config is OK. Can anyone help me. Thanks in advance Lance Gardner Customer support Center Sydney [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]

If you install the Multi-tower, single LUN firmware and run them in that configuration, MRU V1.1 will work (mostly). Such a configuration wasn't possible until well after V1.1 shipped, which is why it isn't in the SPD. With V1.2 coming this summer (probably) there wasn't any pressing need to update the SPD. There are a couple of things that break when the MUSL firmware is used with V1.1. Both occur as a result of the Pass-through mechanism becoming an Transport instead of port. If you happen to get a tape stuck on the PTM, "eject port" won't clear. And, you can't do bar-code checking on an inject command: robot inject slot # cart ______ robot /dev/whatever The last is an undocumented feature, so you probably won't see it much. | |||||

How are the cartridges labeled ? 0-263 twice OR 0-527 Thanks Lance. [Posted by WWW Notes gateway] | |||||

The cartridges are labeled with their bar-codes... Just being precise... The slots and drives are numbered as one big robot. With two 264 slot towers you get 0-537 for slots and 0-5 for drives. The ports are unchanged and the PTM becomes a transport. | |||||
