slightly OT: DEC RW536 / HP 200t Docs needed

Hello,

since a while, i have a HP 200t optical library (144 slots, 4 drives), this
beast works very fine in NetBSD. The problem is just the configuration menu of
the library itself, which consists of numeric config entries (0-199), which can
accept more or less values. What i need is a list of the meaning of those 200
config entries, as i need to enable SCSI parity, and want to look, what else i
can play around there.

Why this goes here? I found out this library was also sold by DEC with the name
RW536. And as some guys always have some documentation around, maybe someone
finds something for this device. I just hope, the firmware used by DEC is the
same than the one used by HP :)

Any hints welcome...

...Michael

Yup, we used to sell that one. I am pretty sure (though not 100%)
the firmware is the same, just the inquiry data returns DEC <foo> instead
of HP <bar>.

Manuals... pff, tough one..

Easily said... But what to set up with menu item "0" or menu item "8" :)
Trying out is a very long procedure, and i got this beast a bit non-functional
a while ago by playing around too much with this configuration stuff. But fixed
again by trying even more...

But this firmware hint is valueable. DEComHPaq knows about the machines, but
has just some stupid HPUX drivers available, no docs.

This is what I seem to have docs on on CD. Not the one you seem to have.

Optical Libraries

RW545 - 16 platter, 1 drive
RW546 - 16 platter, 2 drives
RW551 - 32 platter, 2 drives
RW552 - 64 platter, 4 drives
RW555 - 128 platter, 4 drives
RW557 - 238 platter, 6 drives
x RWZ52 - multifunction optical drive
x RWZ53 - multifunction optical drive

We might have more info on the intranet, I can check (time permitting)
tomorrow.

Okay, they seem quite different. I just tried the menues out a bit, the
procedure is done by the keys option prev/next and enter on the front panel.
So option, next, next (some amount) leads to display "CONF *", enter goes into
config menu. Here you can select numbers from 0-199 by prev/next, enter
activates the item. Not every items are filled with something behind them,
there are lots of Save/Clear items (0, 10, 11, 22, 23, 24, 25), even more 0-199
items (15-20, 31, 32, 50, 66), and some On/Off items (8, 21, 27). The rest is
unallocated, so there are not too much ways to configure it. Except, some menu
item activates more other menu items, who knows? :)

Would be wonderful, time doesn't matter, i have this beast a year or so now,
and could use it this way without the docs. But knowing what i can configure
would be really nice.

Thanx in advance.

I found something looking a bit similar:

http://www.hp.com/cposupport/manual_set/lpg28920.pdf

This is the service manual for the HP 125ex/220mx jukebox. Config items present
look familiar. Will try this...

panic: pci_sgmap_pte64_load_mbuf: not implemented

This was reported in 1.5.3 and apparently hasn't been
fixed in 1.5.4 released on Feb 1st.  Does anyone have
a patch for this?

It will not be fixed on the 1.5 branch.  Please upgrade to 1.6.

I agree and want to.  I tried, but the AS1200s would hang with
'explift is 0' .. (sic) so I pulled out those disks and put the
1.5 back in .. at the same time swapping out an ex (905) device
for a tlp (DE500) and now both machines repeatedly (like every
20 minutes or so) will panic with this load_mbuf error even 
with the generic kernel.  Is there at least a work around ..
is it the ethernet cards?  .. I don't remember them every giving
that panic before during the past year ..

How much memory is in your system?
