Step 3  
Configure the clientstatements in the DAS config file.  
Step 4  
If necessary, configure the drive to volser  
attachments in the DAS config file.  
Version 3.10E DAS Release Notes  
11  
21 Dec 2001  
 
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.

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 :  
email (supported only in SDLC systems)  
snmp (supported only in SDLC systems)  
PR89 - "'view' at only one drive at once"  
There is an additional parameter in listd, listd2, listd3  
commands:  
dasadmin listd [clientname] [-d drivename]  
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.  
PR75 - "DAS doesn't have an interface to return  
EIF configuration"  
A new dasadmin command "eif_conf" was introduced in DAS  
3.10E to display these logical ranges.  
Version 3.10E DAS Release Notes  
13  
21 Dec 2001  
 
PR92 - "Inventory by volser with DAS".  
A new dasadmin command "VolserInventory" was  
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  
commands. After a timeout expires, DAS wipes this  
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.  
ET38054 - "Enhancement in set_scratch  
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.  
External table for mapping between AMU and  
DAS mediatypes.  
In DAS 3.10E default mapping between AMU and DAS  
mediatypes can changed (to work with new media types with  
ISVs who don’t have linked the actual ACI  
New Features in Version 3.10A  
The following is a list of new features in this release of the  
DAS.  
ACI debug logging into a file.  
It is possible to access and perform debug logging at standard  
output or in a file.  
ACI debugging is configurable via the environment variable:  
ACI_DEBUG_FILE  
14  
Release Notes  
603108 Rev A  
 
Shared access to drives.  
A client can allocate a drive in SHARED_ACCESS mode. This  
allows multiple Clients to access the drive.  
The drivestatus command now has new key words EXUP and  
SHARED_ACCESS.  
Enter EXUP as a key word for the clientname to show all  
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:  
drive status,  
drive status2,  
drive status3  
volser status  
query version  
query volsrange  
get volser to side  
get volser to drive  
view  
keep  
mount  
In order to get this mode to follow, configure the statement of  
the configuration file of DAS in the client:  
requests = extended,  
Version 3.10E DAS Release Notes

ACI timeout  
The timeout for some commands was set too short. This is  
corrected now.  
Improved error handling  
Extend the error mapping between DAS and AMU.  
Add following AMU errors:  
AMU_INF_DUAL_DUMMY_1333  
AMU_ERR_DRV_HWFAULT

Description  
ET60330  
"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  
PR97  
"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.

Description  
ET85105  
"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  
ET60325  
"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.
