Command Completion Time Commands issued to robotic devices connected with a DSSI may take a minute or more to complete. The delays in command completion occur to properly synchronize the DSSI loader device. Manual TF8x7 Operations Can Stop Automated Operations The TF8x7 does not respond to Media Robot Utility system ROBOT LOAD and ROBOT UNLOAD operations after an operator manually unloads a cartridge. Other MRU status commands respond correctly. After a manual unload is executed, the ROBOT LOAD or ROBOT UNLOAD commands complete immediately and give no error messages. The ROBOT SHOW DRIVE and ROBOT SHOW SLOT do properly reflect whether a cartridge is loaded in the drive or residing in the loader. The MRU software continues to provide proper status after manually loading and unloading various slots even though the MRU LOAD AND UNLOAD commands no longer execute properly. Restoring the communication path between the TF loader and the operating system requires a complete re-initialization of the DSSI server embedded in the TF loader. There are two ways in which this can be done. Cycle power to the TF loader: 1. Turn power to the TF loader OFF 2. Wait 10 seconds 3. Turn power to the TF loader ON Execute the following command sequence either maually through DCL, or programatically: $ SET HOST/DUP/SERVER=MSCP$DUP/TASK=PARAMS xxxx (where xxxx is the DSSI NODE name of the TF loader) PARAMS> SET INITWATERMARK 100 PARAMS> WRITE Parameter changes require controller initialization, ok?[Y/(N)] y Wait for the DSSI node to transition from HostUnavailable to Online (60 - 90 seconds).
