Symptoms:
	PHCO_16194:
	1. Need to support >500 tapes on STK 9710.
	2. Need DLT library's barcode information.
	3. mc(1m) fails on first invocation after front door
	   opened on STK 9710.
	4. Man page not accurate.
	5. Need options for printing serial numbers and for
	   reserving/releasing shared devices.

	PHCO_10848:
	No symptoms.  This is to add new functionality.
	A new /usr/sbin/mc command is introduced to manipulate
	media autoloaders.

Defect Description:
	PHCO_16194:
	1. Currently, only approximately 160 slots (10,000 bytes)
	are supported.  Customers need >500 slots supported.
	2. Need mc(1m) to be able to read the barcode data from
	the library of tapes in the autoloader assembly.
	3. After the front door is opened on the STK 9710, the
	mc(1m) command fails with a "Unit Attention" error.  The
	command must be issued a second time, and then it works.
	4. The current mc(1m) man page does not accurately
	describe the supported devices.
	5. No defect for the new options.  The -n option prints
	the serial number of the drive in the specified slot.
	The -b option allows one to reserve or release a shared
	device in a library.

	PHCO_10848:
	No defect.  This is to add new functionality.
	A new /usr/sbin/mc command is introduced to manipulate
	media autoloaders.

Installation Instructions:

	------------------------------------------------------------
	1. Back up your system before installing a patch.

	2. Login as root.

	3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory.

	4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch:

		cd /tmp
		sh PHCO_16194

	5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the
	    patch:

		swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
			-s /tmp/PHCO_16194.depot

	5b. For a homogeneous NFS Diskless cluster run swcluster on the
	    server to install the patch on the server and the clients:

		swcluster -i -b

	    This will invoke swcluster in the interactive mode and
	    force all clients to be shut down.

	    WARNING: All cluster clients must be shut down prior to the
		     patch installation.  Installing the patch while the
		     clients are booted is unsupported and can lead to
		     serious problems.

	    The swcluster command will invoke an swinstall session in which
	    you must specify:

		alternate root path  -  default is /export/shared_root/OS_700
		source depot path    -  /tmp/PHCO_16194.depot

	    To complete the installation, select the patch by choosing
	    "Actions -> Match What Target Has" and then "Actions -> Install"
	    from the Menubar.

	5c. For a heterogeneous NFS Diskless cluster:

		- run swinstall on the server as in step 5a to install
		  the patch on the cluster server.

		- run swcluster on the server as in step 5b to install
		  the patch on the cluster clients.

	By default swinstall will archive the original software in
	/var/adm/sw/patch/PHCO_16194.  If you do not wish to retain a
	copy of the original software, you can create an empty file
	named /var/adm/sw/patch/PATCH_NOSAVE.

	Warning: If this file exists when a patch is installed, the
	         patch cannot be deinstalled.  Please be careful
		 when using this feature.

	It is recommended that you move the PHCO_16194.text file to
	/var/adm/sw/patch for future reference.

	To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the
	tape drive, use the command:

		dd if=/tmp/PHCO_16194.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k
