3.5 Setting up devices

Each device controlled by the server requires a description file that specifies the device type, the SCSI address and properties of the drive, and the SCSI address or RS232 address of the robot (changing mechanism). The file also specifies which storage slots the server should use (default is all slots) and an optional file that stores the contents of the slots. A device can also be an ISO 9660 image on your hard disk, which is controlled the same way as ordinary disks.
The following sections explain how to set up SCSI devices for iXOS-JUKEMAN.
