Description
The ACSLS configuration utility will fail with a timeout error if the SL500 base module CAP is configured for use as storage cells.

The SL500 base module CAP should always be configured for use as I/O cells to enable Enter and Eject operations.  SL500 expansion modules may be configured for use as storage or I/O cells.

There may also be errors in the postgres logs relating to the size of the cap, for example:

LOG: statement: insert into captable (acs, lsm, cap, cap_status, cap_state, cap_mode, cap_priority, cap_size, cap_condition, cap_availability, cap_desired_state) values (4, 0, 0, 10, 7, 1, 0, 0, 3, 2, 7)

ERROR: new row for relation "captable" violates check constraint "captable_cap_size_check"

To confirm cap size values the following command can be issued:

$ psql -d acsdb
Welcome to psql 8.1.11, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

Solution

Steps to Follow
This problem only affects the SL500 base module.

1.  Verify that the acsss_config utility fails with these error messages:

     This step builds a database image of your complete library hardware configuration.
     Before proceeding,  make sure that your library is completely configured,  that all
     subsystems are functional and powered on.  Build/Verify library configuration? (y or n): y

     /export/home/ACSSS/config/in_lib_conf:  Cannot get LH data
     /export/home/ACSSS/config/in_lib_conf:  Failed to configure LSMs

     lib_config.sh  1612:  Error: Configuration command in_lib_conf failed.
     Exiting.

2.  Verify from the Sun Field Engineer how the CAP of the SL500 base module is configured

     If the CAP is configured for use as I/O,  there could be other problems causing the acsss_config to fail.
     Refer to Document: 1020074.1  ACSLS - Troubleshooting 'acsss_config' Problems During Library
          Communications Configuration     

    If the CAP is configured for use as storage, ask the Sun Field Engineer to change the CAP to be used for I/O.  This is usually done using the SL500 CLI utility and not through ACSLS.  Run the acsss_config utility again after making the CAP attribute change.
