Exabyte EXB-210 tape changer
Tim
4.x? I get the following with chio. It doesn't look like chio.c or
scsi_ch.c has been changed recently so I don't think updating the OS would
help.
Thanks,
Tim

Try using 'chio ielem' before you try to move things around.
It may be that the changer doesn't know where things are without being
prompted to look.

That gives me this (along with chio: /dev/ch0: CHIOELEM: Input/output
error):
(ch0:ahc0:0:0:0): INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS. CDB: 7 0 0 0 0 0
(ch0:ahc0:0:0:0): NOT READY asc:4,8e
(ch0:ahc0:0:0:0): Vendor Specific ASCQ
chio status works.
mt offline works.
Thanks!

Odd that it would return an error but chio status would suddenly start
working.
Oh well, go figure. :)
Can you move tapes around now?

Sorry, I didn't make it clear. chio status has always worked. chio
move didn't and still doesn't. So I still can not move the tapes.
Right now somebody manually pushes the button every day to move to the
next tape.
Thanks,

it's configured to accept SCSI commands (I vaguely recall something deep in
the LCD screens about that)

make sure the 210 is configured in changer as opposed to stacker mode and
that

Matt has the right answer I think. From the 210 manual...
ASC ASCQ

I once had an EXB-220 at a FreeBSD system in order to verify it's
functionality, before it eventually moved to a Sun running
Legato^WSolstice Backup.

Well, go to the vendor, and ask for their specific ASCQ. ;-)
The SCSI reference is available for download at Exabyte, and it tells
at page D-1:
[...] Table D-1 lists Not Ready (2h) error conditions.
ASC ASCQ
(byte 12) (byte 13) Description
04h 01h The library is performing an initialization after
a reset or the door was closed.
83h The front door is open.

So it seems you have configured your library to accept medium changer
commands along the serial port (as opposed to SCSI commands).
Don't feel bad, it once hit me likewise, but my library has been in
LCD interface mode. That's been the reason for me to download the
manual. :)
