319.0. "TL800: Unusual status for move to Transport." by NABETH::alan (Dr. File System's Home for Wayward Inodes.) Mon Apr 07 1997 21:30

	The TL800 doesn't support moving cartridges to the transport,
	which is what the device capabilities mode page indicates.  But
	the request sense data for the error is 0x80/4.  I think there
	are standard SCSI error codes that will work as well, instead
	of a vendor unique one.  Based on the similar behaviour of the
	TZ885, 0x21/1 might be a good choice.

    Will inquire about this.
    
    Thanks.
319.2Can't reproducce..SUBSYS::TRANStraight <Left> Hitter..Mon Apr 14 1997 14:376
    
    We tried it here to move to transport and the device does return
    5-21-01. What is your MOVE command's source and destination? We are
    running firmware 3.08.

Source is slot 0, destination is transport 0.  Since there is only one
transport, MRU uses the transport base address for the transport argument.

319.5Duplicate based element address.SUBSYS::TRANStraight <Left> Hitter..Mon Apr 14 1997 16:3710
    
    AH, I know now why it reports differently on your machine and my
    machine.. I changed mine's base address to match TL810 series.
    
    Apparently, native TL800 element base address has TE=0, ST=0x1, DE=0xF0
    and IE=0. Problem is TE's address and IE's address is the same.
    
    I'll get this fixed.

	Your IVP failed because the TL800 doesn't have any ports.  In
	previous versions "show port" exited with a status that was
	not an error status.  So, the IVP didn't notice that the
	"show port" failed.  One of the bugs we fixed in V1.2 was
	to make our error exit status a real error for OpenVMS.  Now,
	the when the "show port" fails, it really does fail.

	The IVP has been fixed to ignore the status of "show port".

	I'll also point that the MRU team only qualifies libraries
	in a single configuration; the one out of the box.  The
	exception to this (thus proving the rule) is that we test
	modern TL820s in both MUSL and pre-MUSL modes of the firm-
	ware.
