The STK ACS Library Device

The STK ACS Library Device

The concepts, configuration, and installation of the STK ACS library device are basically the same as the steps necessary to use the ADIC/GRAU DAS device with Data Protector. Refer to the “Data Protector and the ADIC/GRAU DAS Library Device” section for additional reference. The ACS Media Agent does not require the preparation necessary for installation of the DAS Media Agent.

Direct Access to the Library: Installation and

Configuration

This section focuses on the direct access configuration. The section is structured in the following order:

•Initial steps you have to complete to prepare for installation

•How to install the ACS Media Agent software on Windows and HP-UX platforms

•Using the Data Protector GUI to configure the STK ACS library

•Using the Data Protector GUI to configure drives

•Using the Data Protector GUI to access the STK ACS library

Media Management Basics

Data Protector provides a number of actions available for media in the ACS library, such as querying the library for a complete list of media, and entering or ejecting media from the library. For an overview of the integration, and detailed information on media management, refer to the first section in this chapter, “Data Protector and the ADIC/GRAU DAS and STK ACS Integration.”

STK ACS-SpecificQuery puts the volsers (tapes) from all silos controlled by one ACSLS

Mediamachine into one library. Data Protector needs to use the first value in

Management the CAP entry (for example ACS library1 has CAP 0,0,0 and ACS library2 has CAP 1,0,0) to determine if a tape is in the library that the user is managing. This makes the query function unusable.
