The Pioneer DRM-5004x offers 4 drives and room for 500 CDs. Both the robot and
the drives are controlled by SCSI. So the drives can read data while the
changer is moving a CD through the large jukebox.
The jukebox has a virtual mail slot which is in fact a position of the changer.
Use
cdadm -f insert device
to move the changer halfway up and stop it. By specifying the -f switch the command returns as soon as the jukebox door may be opened. (which is, unfortunately, not so easy and requires some force and/or skill). The time-out for the disk-change is specified by the trayto parameter (see "Server parameters" on page 125). Otherwise the jukebox resumes normal operation. Insert a CD in the changer and close the door again. iXOS-JUKEMAN waits for the door to be closed and moves the CD to an empty slot. Afterwards, the accumulated file system requests queue is worked off. As iXOS-JUKEMAN is monitoring the door status, there is no need to issue the command
cdadm testcd device
to tell the server the CD change is finished.
Similarly, using the command
cdadm -f remove device
a CD is exported with the changer. Open the door as soon as the command returns, remove the CD, and close the door to resume normal operation. You can also specify a slot number or CD name:
cdadm -f remove device x11r5
instructs the server to remove the CD named x11r5.
The DRM-5004x can be fitted with recorders supported by iXOS-JUKEMAN.
