ADIC/GRAU DAS and STK ACS Libraries

The ADIC/GRAU DAS Library Device

Configuring the indirect access platform requires the same preparatory steps as configuring the direct access platform. You have to create a DAS Client in the C:\DAS\ETC\CONFIG file on the DAS Server computer, install the ADIC/GRAU library in the Data Protector /bin directory, and install and start the Portmapper service. Detailed instructions are provided in “Preparing for Installation” in the preceding section, “Direct Access to the Library Robotics: Installation and Configuration.”

Using Data Protector to Configure the ADIC/GRAU Library and Drives

The indirect access configuration steps are the same as the direct access configuration (see previous section for steps), except the default setting, Force Direct Library Access, should be turned off.

•Follow the same GUI steps as for the direct library access configuration. When the library configuration is complete, you will be prompted to create library drives.

•Follow the same steps for creating drives as in the indirect library access configuration, but in Advanced Options, make sure to turn off the Force Direct Library Access feature. By default, this feature is off.

Using Data Protector to Access the ADIC/GRAU Library

Once you have configured your environment and installed the DAS Media Agent on the systems that will access the library robotics, you are ready to use the Data Protector GUI to access the media in the ADIC/GRAU DAS library. The following sections provide instructions on using Data Protector with the ADIC/GRAU integration.

Searching for a Medium

Use this function to locate a specific medium without having to browse the entire list of media. Data Protector locates media by searching through media, then Medium Locations, and finally Medium IDs.

1.In the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Manager, switch to the Devices & Media context.

2.To search for media in a media pool, select the Media item. To search for media in a library, select the Devices item.
