        ???(MDMS)  " PAB + MDMS + TL812 problems  " ???
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Hi, 
     we have a customer with rare problems about control TL812 in MDMS.
     He is working with OpenVMS/ALPHA V6.2 , PAB V2.1 & MDMS V2.8.

    (1) The first problem :

     $ STORAGE IMPORT CARTRIDGE TL810_SWXNA/VISION/ADD/MEDIA_TYPE=TK88_SWXNA -
                                           /SLOT=0
     if cartridge insert to tl812 load port 0 ---> success.
     if cartridge insert to tl812 load port 1,2,3 then get following error:
     %SLS-F-MRD_INPORT_EMPT, media robot driver detected inport empty
 
     problem: how to use load port 1,2,3 in import command ?

    (2) The second problem :

     $ STORAGE EXPORT CARTRIDGE ALX100 

     if tl812 load port 1 is empty  ---> success.
 
     if tl812 load port 0,2,3 is empty, but load port 1 is not empty then
     get following error:
     %SLS-F-MRD_OUTPORT_FUL, media robot driver detected output port full

     problem: how to use load port 0,2,3 in export command ?

    (3) The third problem :
     
     from following command :
     $ STORAGE REPORT VOLUME/NOFILT/TITLE="....."  STATUS/SORT,VOLUME,FLAG     
   
     we get volume status = outside  volume = &+alx100 volume state = free

     problem: how to management volume status outside & in slot in tl812 ?

     best regard

Can't...can only use port 0

>problem: how to use load port 0,2,3 in export command ?

Can't...can only use port 1

You could use some MRU commands with the STORAGE INVENTORY JUKEBOX
to use the other ports but its kind of a hack.

>problem: how to management volume status outside & in slot in tl812 ?

STORAGE INVENTORY JUKEBOX typically handles this for you but the
SLS$SYSTEM:SLS$VOLUME image will let you get at these fields.
