For more detailed information about DAS, refer to the DAS
Administration Guide. Follow the steps for the DAS Server
configuration.
Step 1
For DUALDAS, the environment variable
DAS_SERVER must be specified with the hostname
or IP-address from one of the AMU-PC and,
separated by a comma, the hostname or IP-address
from the other AMU-PC.
Example: DAS_SERVER=activehostname,
passivehostname, or;
DAS_SERVER=passivehostname, activehostname

It is possible to configure in the DAS configuration
file a relation between drives and volsers in the
following syntax:
DriveToVol
drive = DriveName,
volsers =( (Volserrange1)|(Volser),
(Volserrange2)|(Volser)) ,...)
For each drive that needs an attachment, a
DriveToVol statement must be configured as above.
This means that only the specified volsers can be
mounted into drive Drive1
When no relation for a drive in the configuration
file exists, each volume of the correct type can be
mounted into the drive.
The statement is optional.
Step 5
If using DUALDAS, ensure that the port 5000 is not
being used by another application. If the port is in
use, change the port in the Server statement of the
DAS config file.
ACI Installation
Perform the following steps to install ACI on the UNIX
platforms.
Step 1
Copy the ACI tar file in the directory c:\das of
the AMU PC
Step 2
Step 3
Step 2 Copy the tar file to the client host using FTP.
Step 3 Unpack the tar file using telnet or directly at
the UNIX host

New Features in Version 3.10E
DAS 3.10E is required for AMU 3.10E.
The following is a list of new features in this release of the
DAS.
Additional commands in dasadmin 3.10E :
•
•

If "-d" was specified then information will be shown only for
this drive.
PR78 (ET40571) - "Command display foreign
does not exist".
A new command "listf" was introduced to display foreign
volsers.
PR94 - "Multiple pinvt with dasadmin must be
available".
In previous versions only one "pinvt" dasadmin command
could be executed per all dasadmin sessions. Now several
"pinvt" commands can be issued.

introduced in DAS 3.10E to have ability to inventory only one
volser.
PR83 - "Real command cancellation in DAS is
required".
There are two enhancements:
•
DAS stores expiration information about all its

command from its queue. In DAS 3.10E it will also send a
cancellation command (PRGE) to AMU in order to purge
this command from the AMU queue.
•
A new command "list2" was introduced in DAS 3.10E to
display enhanced information about its list of commands.
A new command "listd4" is added
This enhancement provides information about a drive's serial
numbers.

command".
A new command "scr_set_range" is introduced in DAS 3.10E.
This command can be used to add more then one volser to the
scratch pool.

drives which are allocated in EXUP mode.
Enter SHARED_ACCESS as a key word for the
clientname to show all drives which are allocated in the
SHARED_ACCESS mode
New Features in Version 3.02
The following is a list of new features in Version 3.02 DAS.
Up- and Down compatibility of DAS to ACI:
This means that ACI can now run with an older version of the
DAS Server. This is not possible with version of ACI < 3.02. In
order for ACI 3.02 to talk with DAS 3.x, no special options
need to be considered. However, for ACI 3.02 to talk with DAS
1.3x, the environment variable ‘SERVERVERSION‘ needs to
be set to ‘1.3‘ on the system.
Extended mode
An extended mode is implemented, in addition to basis and
complete. In this mode you can use the following commands:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

"Cleanpool with 16 chars doesn't work". There is a
bug with incorrect setting of field value in AMU
telegram, which will be fixed.
In dasadmin "scr_insert" command another aci
function with a larger buffer size for volsers can
be used. The old aci function (aci_insert()) might
have a problem with large EIF and double-sided
(optical) volsers.
ET56507
"DAS/ACI timeout to 1st server when network is
down". The ability of preliminary testing of
connection with DAS server has been added. If
DAS/2 and ACI clients will be started with the
PORT_PING=<port> environment variable set
then this ability will be activated.
ET33777

"Eject has limited number of volsers".
"eject2" command in dasadmin has a limited buffer
size for volsers (100 bytes).
Now the "eject3" command is similar to "eject2" but
has a buffer size of 512 bytes.
"Mount failed after issued PINVT". There is a bug
in the DAS code, related to improper handling of
RPC task number. Will be fixed.
"Scr_set command works wrong". There is a bug
causing improper handling of media types in the
"scr_set" branch. This prohibited users from
inserting cartridges in scratch pool if the use count
of cartridges was not equal to zero.
PR82
"DAS:allocv: The manual says that a check of the
Volser in the given range will be made as to one is
available or mounted". DAS doesn't check the
availability of the requested volser and could
return a positive answer for a mounted volser. Will
be fixed.

"Multiple problem with scr_insert dasadmin
command". There is a bug in the DAS insert
command handler, which leads to a buffer
overflow. In addition, the aci_insert() function has
a limitation on buffer size (approx. 1 Kbyte).
Operating a large EIF (mailbox) with optical (two-
sided) volser this function could encounter
problems. Now aci_insert2() function will be
introduced (in ACI 3.10E) to fix this issue.
ET84186
"Improper DAS reaction on mount used drive".
There is an old check for "mount while cleaning"
condition, which is wrong.
DualDAS issues. There are several issues related
with Dual DAS system. There are errors in
transferring control information between active
and passive DASes
ET60326

"Scratch volumes are possible in more then one
pool".
"scr_set” doesn't create pool information in
database. Will be added.
"select of scratch volumes doesn't check
information in database".
Will be fixed in DAS 3.10E.
