- had delivered and installed an Optical Autochanger. It is a Hewlett-Packard
- Model 20C (32 slots, two optical drives). We bought it from Exsys who have
- also provided a SCSI to DSSI interface (the Autochanger has a SCSI buss,
- and we wanted to use it on a Microvax 3400 with a DSSI disk interface),
- and some software. The software they sold with is is UIS-Archive and
- UIS-Media from International Structure Engineers, Inc. (ISE). We want to
- use this arrangement to archive large data files from four other VAXen
- in a DECnet LAN.
-
- I would like to discuss the experiances anyone who may be reading this
- message who have/had a similar configuration and need and what you did
- to solve problems like:
-
- How to eject or load media automatically with a DCL command procedure?
-
- There are set host/dssi commands to eject and load media but they do
- not accept the input slot selection from a command file. I've tried
- all of the standard logical names.
-
- Any suggestions or warnings on the contents of the AUX_COM_FILE for MEDIA.
-
- Thanks in advance for any response.
