    Abstract: An error detecting and recovery subsystem which can be easily modified for use with any data processing system which is being monitored is disclosed. The subsystem employs a user editable file including the rules for defining the system state, the error states, and the sequences of recovery actions to be taken depending upon the comparison between the system state and the error states. The rules for defining the system state, include means for determining selected system variables, and the sequences of recovery actions are specified using an index into a set of elemental recovery actions. Because the system state, error state, and sequence of recovery actions are defined in a user editable file, modifications to the error detection and recovery scheme can be made without recompiling the recovery subsystem program code. Such modifications to the subsystem may therefore be made on a real time basis.

    Abstract: A method for selecting data storage media for demount in an automated storage library, and an automated storage library and program product therefor are disclosed. Preemptive demount of storage media is permitted when all peripheral storage devices in the library are occupied and one or more of such devices remains inactive for a predetermined time. Storage media may be demounted to service existing mount requests, provided the peripheral storage devices in which the media are mounted are inactive. There is also a need, however, to ensure the availability of an empty device to service future mount requests, particularly in libraries having only a single gripper mechanism. Thus, even when no mount requests are pending, the status of the peripheral storage devices is continually monitored. If the peripheral storage devices are all occupied, and one or more of such devices remains inactive for the predetermined time, the least recently used storage medium is demounted and transferred to a storage cell in the library.
