Hi,
We have an old Quantum tape library with four SDLT600 drives. This is
running on a RH Linux snode. I notice that when I run the loaderinfo
command as:
/usr/sbin/loaderinfo -f /dev/sg#
it reports "Bar Code Reader: No" for drive 1 of 4, but "Yes" when I run
the command against the other three drives. Otherwise, the values
reported from the command are all the same between the drives, and all
drives have the same firmware.
I'm not sure what this value really implies, anyway, given that the
picker is the hardware that would have a bar code reader and not the
drive, correct? When I run loaderinfo against the picker device, it
reports 'Yes' for this value.
Drive 1 of 4 functions fine, with or without bar codes tapes, so the
fact that this setting is 'No' doesn't seem to be causing it any problems.
But anyone know why this would report 'No' and how to set it to 'Yes'?
Maybe it should be 'No' and the others should also be 'No'?
I notice on our STK LTO-3 tape library, however, that all the drives
report 'No', including the medium changer, too! But, again, everything
functions just fine on there.
Thanks.
George
