  NAME

    tjb_exercise - Performs a series of tests on the tape jukebox

  SYNOPSIS

    /usr/ip32/tjb/tjb_exercise  jb_name  |  -r robotic_path -d drive_path

  FLAGS

    -r robotic_path
           Defines device path of the robotics control port for the tape
           jukebox.

    -d drive_path
           Defines device path of the tape drive for the tape jukebox.

  DESCRIPTION

    The tjb_exercise command performs a series of tests on the tape jukebox.
    The jukebox can be specified either by using the logical jukebox name or
    by specifying the SCSI robotics and drive paths.

  EXAMPLES

    To perform a series of tests on the tape jukebox, TJB01, key in one the
    following commands:

    tjb_exercise TJB01

    tjb_exercise -r /dev/gs/s3u0 -d /dev/gs/s5u0

    The following is the output produced by the tjb_exercise command:

                    jb drives : 1

            Drive Info
                    drive path    : "/dev/gs/s5u0"

  FILES

    /dev/gs/s?u?            Robotics and tape device files.

    /etc/TJBCFG             Tape jukebox configuration file.

  NOTES

    The tjb_exercise command requires superuser privileges.  See tjb_config(8)
    for a description of the configuration data.

  CAUTIONS

    The tjb commands check if the drive (/dev/rmt/mt?) is in use only at the
    beginning of the command.  If any tape operation is started after a tjb
    command is initiated, the tjb command may eject the tape from the drive
    and cause a no media in drive error for the tape operation.

  DIAGNOSTICS

    The following is a list of common error messages and their meanings:

    No information for jukebox "MY_TJB" in configuration file
           The logical name MY_TJB cannot be found in /etc/TJBCFG.  The
           configuration file may be missing the =,  {,  or  } characters.

    get_status: Device busy

    Failed to get drive status information
           If the tape drive door is closed, the file /dev/rmt/mt* is checked
           to see if the drive is in use.


    ERROR: Door open

    Failed to move media from 0 to 1
           The jukebox door was opened while a move operation was in progress.


    Unit attention detected, performing reset
           A reset is performed before the next command (unless the command is
           tjb_reset or tjb_exercise) if the jukebox door has been opened, or
           a SCSI bus reset has occurred.


    Cartridge in changer, attempting to place in empty slot

    Cartridge placed in slot 3
           The jukebox door was opened, or a SCSI bus reset has occurred while
           the cartridge handler mechanism had a cartridge retrieved.  The
           cartridge is placed in the first empty slot found.

  EXIT VALUES

    The tjb_exercise command exits with a value of 0 if successful.  If
    unsuccessful, it exists with a nonzero value.
