# 🌐 Web UI Fix Report - Drive ID Convention
|
|
|
|
## 📋 Issue Found
|
|
|
|
The web UI was generating incorrect drive IDs in the `device.conf` file, using **sequential 0-based numbering** (00, 01, 02, 03) instead of following the **MHVTL convention**.
|
|
|
|
### ❌ Previous Behavior
|
|
|
|
**Generated Configuration:**
|
|
```
|
|
Library: 10 CHANNEL: 00 TARGET: 00 LUN: 00
|
|
Drive: 00 CHANNEL: 00 TARGET: 01 LUN: 00 # ❌ Wrong!
|
|
Drive: 01 CHANNEL: 00 TARGET: 02 LUN: 00 # ❌ Wrong!
|
|
Drive: 02 CHANNEL: 00 TARGET: 03 LUN: 00 # ❌ Wrong!
|
|
Drive: 03 CHANNEL: 00 TARGET: 04 LUN: 00 # ❌ Wrong!
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Problem:**
|
|
- Drive IDs started from 00, 01, 02, 03
|
|
- This caused `vtllibrary` to fail with: `error: Can not find entry for '0' in config file`
|
|
- Library (changer) would not be detected in `lsscsi -g`
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## ✅ Fix Applied
|
|
|
|
### MHVTL Drive ID Convention
|
|
|
|
**Rule:** Drive ID = Library ID (tens digit) + Slot Number (ones digit)
|
|
|
|
**For Library 10:**
|
|
- Slot 1 → Drive ID **11** (10 + 1)
|
|
- Slot 2 → Drive ID **12** (10 + 2)
|
|
- Slot 3 → Drive ID **13** (10 + 3)
|
|
- Slot 4 → Drive ID **14** (10 + 4)
|
|
|
|
**For Library 30:**
|
|
- Slot 1 → Drive ID **31** (30 + 1)
|
|
- Slot 2 → Drive ID **32** (30 + 2)
|
|
|
|
### ✅ Corrected Configuration
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Library: 10 CHANNEL: 00 TARGET: 00 LUN: 00
|
|
Drive: 11 CHANNEL: 00 TARGET: 01 LUN: 00 # ✅ Correct!
|
|
Drive: 12 CHANNEL: 00 TARGET: 02 LUN: 00 # ✅ Correct!
|
|
Drive: 13 CHANNEL: 00 TARGET: 03 LUN: 00 # ✅ Correct!
|
|
Drive: 14 CHANNEL: 00 TARGET: 04 LUN: 00 # ✅ Correct!
|
|
```

## 🔧 Changes Made
|
|
|
|
### 1. **Updated `addDrive()` Function**
|
|
|
|
**File:** `/builder/adastra-vtl/web-ui/script.js`
|
|
|
|
**Before:**
|
|
```javascript
|
|
function addDrive(driveType = 'IBM ULT3580-TD5') {
|
|
const driveId = driveCounter++;
|
|
const drive = {
|
|
id: driveId,
|
|
driveNum: drives.length, // ❌ 0, 1, 2, 3...
|
|
// ...
|
|
};
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**After:**
|
|
```javascript
|
|
function addDrive(driveType = 'IBM ULT3580-TD5') {
|
|
const driveId = driveCounter++;
|
|
const slot = drives.length + 1;
|
|
const libraryId = 10;
|
|
// MHVTL Convention: Drive ID = Library ID (tens) + Slot (ones)
|
|
const driveNum = libraryId + slot; // ✅ 11, 12, 13, 14...
|
|
|
|
const drive = {
|
|
id: driveId,
|
|
driveNum: driveNum,
|
|
// ...
|
|
};
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2. **Updated `removeDrive()` Function**
|
|
|
|
Recalculates drive numbers when a drive is removed to maintain correct numbering:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
function removeDrive(driveId) {
|
|
// ... remove drive ...
|
|
|
|
// Recalculate drive numbers and slots using MHVTL convention
|
|
drives.forEach((drive, idx) => {
|
|
const slot = idx + 1;
|
|
drive.slot = slot;
|
|
drive.driveNum = drive.libraryId + slot; // ✅ Recalculate
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// Re-render drives
|
|
document.getElementById('drives-container').innerHTML = '';
|
|
drives.forEach(drive => renderDrive(drive));
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. **Enhanced `updateDrive()` Function**
|
|
|
|
Automatically recalculates drive number when Library ID or Slot changes:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
function updateDrive(driveId, field, value) {
|
|
const drive = drives.find(d => d.id === driveId);
|
|
if (drive) {
|
|
drive[field] = value;
|
|
|
|
// Recalculate drive number if library ID or slot changes
|
|
if (field === 'libraryId' || field === 'slot') {
|
|
drive.driveNum = drive.libraryId + drive.slot; // ✅ Auto-recalculate
|
|
// Re-render to update the display
|
|
document.getElementById('drives-container').innerHTML = '';
|
|
drives.forEach(d => renderDrive(d));
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 4. **Added Documentation**
|
|
|
|
Added comprehensive documentation at the top of `script.js`:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
/**
|
|
* MHVTL Configuration Web UI
|
|
*
|
|
* IMPORTANT: MHVTL Drive ID Convention
|
|
* -------------------------------------
|
|
* Drive IDs must follow the format: Library ID (tens digit) + Slot Number (ones digit)
|
|
*
|
|
* Examples for Library 10:
|
|
* - Slot 1 → Drive ID 11 (10 + 1)
|
|
* - Slot 2 → Drive ID 12 (10 + 2)
|
|
* - Slot 3 → Drive ID 13 (10 + 3)
|
|
* - Slot 4 → Drive ID 14 (10 + 4)
|
|
*
|
|
* Examples for Library 30:
|
|
* - Slot 1 → Drive ID 31 (30 + 1)
|
|
* - Slot 2 → Drive ID 32 (30 + 2)
|
|
*
|
|
* This convention is enforced throughout the UI to ensure compatibility with mhvtl.
|

## 🎯 Impact
|
|
|
|
### Before Fix:
|
|
- ❌ Generated configs would cause `vtllibrary` to fail
|
|
- ❌ Library/changer would not be detected
|
|
- ❌ Users would need to manually edit generated configs
|
|
- ❌ Inconsistent with MHVTL documentation and examples
|
|
|
|
### After Fix:
|
|
- ✅ Generated configs work correctly with MHVTL
|
|
- ✅ Library/changer is properly detected
|
|
- ✅ No manual editing required
|
|
- ✅ Follows MHVTL best practices and conventions
|
|
- ✅ Auto-recalculates when Library ID or Slot changes
|
|
- ✅ Maintains correct numbering when drives are added/removed
|
