Software Product Description
Digital Optical Storage Management Software (OSMS) for OpenVMS VAX and
Alpha, Version 3.4
November, 1996
SPD 47.46.05
1 DESCRIPTION
The Digital[TM] Optical Storage Management Software
(Digital OSMS) for OpenVMS[TM] product provides OpenVMS
applications and users the functionality necessary to
access an optical disk library (or jukebox) using the
conventional device, file, and record access services
provided by the OpenVMS Operating System. In most cases,
no changes will be required to existing applications that
use magnetic disk storage.
The OpenVMS VAX[TM] and OpenVMS Alpha version of Digital
OSMS provides local or VMScluster[TM] access to rewritable
or WORM (Write Once, Read Many) media containing FILES-
11 on-disk structure by way of the RW5xx series of
optical libraries. Digital OSMS for OpenVMS Alpha does
not support any configuration using WORM media containing
the WORMS-11[R] on-disk structure.
Pseudo-Device Representation
Digital OSMS allows the OpenVMS host to view the optical
library as a virtual set of disk devices. This translates
to one virtual disk device for each optical disk surface in
the library. For example, the Digital RW531 optical library
has two single-headed optical disk drives and 32 optical
disk cartridge storage slots. Each storage slot holds one
optical disk cartridge, so the library has the capacity of
64 optical disk surfaces. The optical library, therefore,
appears to applications as 64 virtual disk devices, named
JBA0: through JBA63:. The JB devices are not physical
devices; they are called pseudo-devices. Excluding those
functions that are unique to the optical technology, these
pseudo-devices emulate the operation of a conventional
OpenVMS magnetic disk.
Volume Access
1
Volumes in an optical library used with Digital OSMS are
accessed using the same techniques that are used to access
conventional OpenVMS disks. The standard OpenVMS INITIALIZE
command is used to prepare each side of an optical disk
cartridge for use and the standard OpenVMS MOUNT command
is used to make the volume known to OpenVMS. WORM volumes
can only be "initialized" once, whereas rewritable volumes,
like magnetic disks, can be "initialized" multiple times.
Once a volume has been mounted, Digital OSMS manages the
use of the physical optical disk drives to allow volumes to
remain logically mounted regardless of where the volume is
in the optical library.
File Access
Files on volumes under control of Digital OSMS are
accessed using the same techniques that are used to access
conventional OpenVMS files. Once a volume has been mounted,
files may be opened, read, written, and closed using the
conventional OpenVMS system services and run-time library
functions. WORM volumes use the WORMS-11 file system.
Rewritable volumes use the FILES-11 file system.
Digital OSMS provides essentially transparent access
using standard OpenVMS commands and I/O statements from
application programs. Digital OSMS supports all OpenVMS
commands and their library routine equivalents, such as,
but not limited to:
ALLOCATE DEALLOCATE MOUNT
APPEND DELETE[2] OPEN
BACKUP[1] DIFFERENCE PURGE
CLOSE DIRECTORY READ
COPY DISMOUNT RENAME
CREATE EDIT WRITE
CREATE INITIALIZE[3]
/DIRECTORY
[1] Not all backup options are supported using WORM media.
[2] This command can be used with WORM media but will not
free up additional disk space as with rewritable media.
[3] This command can be used only once with WORM media.
2
2 SYSTEM MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS
The management utility tool, JBUTIL, lets the system
manager control the parameters affecting the operation
of the optical library. The utility also allows cartridges
to be loaded into and removed from the optical library.
Once a cartridge has been placed in a storage slot inside
the optical library, it will remain associated with the
corresponding JBxx: device destination until the cartridge
is removed from the optical library using JBUTIL.
The ODUTIL utility is provided for analyzing and recovering
lost files on WORM media - for VAX systems only. The ODUTIL
utility lets the user:
o Recover files that have been "lost" on a WORMS-11
optical disk; that is, files that still exist on the
disk but are not entered into any directory.
o Display the number of allocated blocks in all files
currently visible (not deleted) on the disk volume.
o Analyze and repair the file structure of a WORMS-11
optical disk by correcting the pointer that describes
the next free block to use on the optical disk.
o Recreate corrupted directories and restore the required
files into the directory.
Some of these functions were provided by the ODRECOVER and
ODANALYZE utilities in previous releases.
3 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
The person planning a system configuration must understand
the hardware requirements of the complete system. Due to
the variety of processors that support OpenVMS and the
length of time that some OpenVMS systems have been in
service, there exist a huge combination of processor, SCSI
adapter/controller, and optical subsystem combinations.
Some combinations are not supported. For example, the
VAX 6000, 7000, 8000, and 10000 series processors are only
supported when the optical library is connected to an HSD
or HSJ controller.

installation
VAX use 4,000 2[2]
Alpha 15,000 7.7
installation
Alpha use 3,500 1.75[2]
[1] 1 block = 512 bytes
[2] Digital OSMS uses one cache file per optical storage
volume. As a result, volume caching options selected at
installation can result in disk requirements ranging from
4 additional blocks to cache one optical disk volume to
15,597,092 additional blocks - the maximum allowable cache
for 476 optical disk volumes.
7
These counts refer to the disk space required on the system
disk. Additional disk space can be required based on the
user's system environment and configuration, as well as the
user options selected at installation time.
The minimum memory supported is 16 Mbytes for VAX systems
and 32 Mbytes for Alpha systems. The use of this software
in conjunction with increased memory capability improves
performance. The memory size suggested for most typical VAX
hardware configurations is at least 32 Mbytes.

Software Product Description
Digital Optical Storage Desktop Software (OSDS) for OpenVMS VAX and

1 DESCRIPTION
The Digital[TM] Optical Storage Desktop Software (Digital
OSDS) for OpenVMS[TM] product provides OpenVMS applications

on-disk structure using the RWZ5x series of optical drives.
Digital OSDS for OpenVMS VAX also provides support for
WORM media containing the WORMS-11[R] on-disk structure
