System Operational Flow

Major system operational components include the following:
• Host
•AMU
• Programmable Multi-Axis Controller (PMAC) The basic operational philosophy of the AML/J is that the host
system is always the master. During normal processing, all commands originate from the host sys tem.
10 Oct 1996
Overview 2-3
When the host software determines that a media library action is necessary, it creates the appropriate command string and sends it to the AMU for processing. The AMU receives and interprets the host command then issues appropriate commands to the PMAC Controller hardware.
The PMAC Controller hardware provides the movement signals for the Robot. After completing the actions, the PMAC Controller hardware returns status to the AMU. When all PMAC Controller status is returned, the AMU reports an overall result to the host system.

Hardware Components

The main hardware components of the AML/J library are the:
• Handling Unit
• Storage Segment
• Control Cabinet
•I/E unit
• Add-on Modules (optional)
• Modem (optional)
AMU
The AMU is the central interface of the AML/J library. The AMU maintains a copy of the library drives and media information in a relational database. During normal operations, the host computer directs the AML/J library. The AMU hardware and software components operate transparently.

Insert/Eject Unit

Media are inserted into and ej ected from th e AML/ J through the I/EF. The media are loaded by an operator into bins.
Two types of IE/F are offered. With the base AML/J Insert/Eject Unit, the media is entered or retrieved through the door. See Figure 2-6. With the IE/F-D, the door must be opened to insert or retrieve media. Refer to Figure 2-7 on page 2-11. The capacity and number of bins are determined by the type of IE/F and media.
The I/EF incorporates a media depository that stores unidentified volumes, defective media, and used cleaning devices.

Software Components

EMASS software organizes and manages the AML/J. This software makes automated data manipulation possible without interfering with the performance of host system. EMASS software automatically receives messages, coordinates tasks, manages and updates the library database, and provides recovery from media errors.
EMASS software can be tailored for many different library configurations. In addition, it can be reconfigured to accommodate an expanding library.

MVS Support

Unlimited MVS system images support is provided by Host Control Component (HCC-MVS) software. This software integrates transparently with MVS S/370, S/390, and Sysplex environments.
Host Control Component (HCC) software
Media functions are routed from the host computer to the AMU AMS software. Media functions supported by HCC software include the following:
• Mount/Keep oper ations
• Volume insertion/ejection
• Administration of media transport cleaning
• Media label initialization and verification
• Automatic reply to outstanding Write to Operator with
Reply (WTOR)
• Scratch media management
Communications functions between the host and AMU AMS software are provided by the following means:
• Local or remote VTAM LU2 (standard 3270 support)
• EXCP standard console communication (local NON-SNA
3x74 control unit)
• LU6.2 (APPC via Token-Ring or Ethernet adapter)
10 Oct 1996
Software Components 2-13
Minimum software requirements to support EMASS software in the MVS environment include the following:
• MVS-SP1.3.6 for JES2
• MVS-SP2.2 for JES3
•SMP/E
• Assembler H
• Standard MVS utilities

UNIX Support

Software solutions to accessing a media libraries are implemented through the UNIX virtual file system layer.
AMASS software
AMASS software presents the AML/J library as o n-line direct access mass storage. The AMASS software provides the following features:
• The AML/J library appears a single device
• The AML/J library utilizes a single mount point
• The data on the media appears as a standard UNIX
directory with files
• Write or read to media utilizes the same approach as
magnetic disk
• Raw cache partitioning provide high performance
2-14 System Description
Files are accessible across the network through standard communication protocol. The protocols include:
•NFS
•TCP/IP
•RFS
•FTP
•Telnet
• HYPERchannel
Requirements to support AMASS software are platform dependent. Additional detailed information is provided in the part number
600307 AMASS Documentation Set
manuals.
DataMgr software
DataMgr is an integrated, layered, file migration application that requires and operates with AMASS software. DataMgr provides the following features:
600338-B
• Fully distributed architecture
• File migration from expensive magnetic disk space to
inexpensive storage media
• Transparent access to the migrated files
• Convenient access to migrated data during reloads
• Flexible migration policies determine the criteria for file
relocation
• File replication across distributed servers
• Multi-tier migration
Additional detailed information is provided in the part number
600336 DataMgr Documentation Set
manuals.
FileServ software
FileServ software balances on-line media with stored library media fro quick access to data. The FileServ software provides the following features:

operations using filesystem(s) as tracking points
• Tracks multiple users of the same file to prevent multiple
mount actions
• File migration from expensive magnetic disk space to
inexpensive storage media
• Transparent access to the migrated files
• Flexible migration policies determine the criteria for file
relocation

DAS software
The distributed AML Server (DAS) is a software product with both client and server components. The server software modules support the OS/2 operating system platform and the client software modules support UNIX/AIX operating system platforms. They communicate from the UNIX/A IX clients to the OS/2 DAS server (AMU controller PC) across a TCP/IP connected network.
2-16 System Description
600338-B
DAS allows client systems to request actions on selected media within the AML system. DAS performs the following requested actions:
• mounts media in a drive
• dismounts media from a drive
• inserts media into the library
• ejects media from the library
Requirements to support DAS software are platform dependent.

Archive Management Software Support

Operating in the OS/2 environment, AMU software consists of five proprietary operational processes and two proprietary utility processes. The task of each of the seven processes are listed below:
• Communication with host computer, robot control,
Quadro Tower control, and Hexa Tower control
• Management of the library catalog using Source Query
Language (SQL) database
• Kernel logic converts host commands into control
commands
• User interface for operator requests
• Log and trace connection
• Database backup facility
• Remote file transfer
10 Oct 1996
In normal (Automatic) operating mode, the host computer directs the AML/J and the AMU software operates transparently. Usually, commands are only input at the AMU console through the Graphical User Interface (GUI) for direct operator intervention.

Flooring Requirements

In addition to being dust-free, physically, chemically, and acoustically appropriate, the flooring must meet the insulation resistance specifications. The insulation resistance between the floor surface and earth ground must be 1 x 10
8
1 x 10
ohms to prevent system failure or electrical shock. Sufficient resistance is achieved by using antistatic, nonconducting floor tile with a resistance of 1 x 10 ohms. Provide an appropriate connection to the m etal portion of the ground plate as necessary to ensure the insulation resistance.

Barcode Requirements

Barcode scanning of individual media labels is accurate if the labels meets the ANSI MH10.8M-1983 standard and other additional requirements. The requirements are:
• ANSI MH10.8M-1983 Standard
• Number of digits: 6
• Background reflection: at least 25 percent
• Print contrast: at least 75 percent
• Ratio: at least 2.2
• Module: 250 mm
• Print tolerance: ± 57 mm
5

to 1 x 109
to
• Additional Requirements
• Length of the rest zones: 5.25 mm ± 0.25 mm
• No black marks can be present in the intermediate spaces or rest zones
• No white areas may be present on the bars
• Bars should read in a uniform direction. Nonunifor m reading directions are feasible in principle, but have a detrimental effect on performance
• Each label should be applied in the upper right corner of the tape cartridge recess (when oriented vertically)
• Quality Testing Compliance with these specifications can be checked and
documented with the Ergilaser 3000 High Density bar code measuring device that is manufactured by the Laetus Company.
