ADIC/GRAU DAS and STK ACS Libraries

The STK ACS Library Device

ACSSA> query cap all

The format specification of an ACS CAP has to be the following:

ACS CAP: ID:#,#,#,# - (ACS num, LSM num, PANEL,

DRIVE).

✓Make sure that the CAPs that will be used for Data Protector are in the state online and in manual operating mode.

If a CAP is not in the state online, change the state using the following command:

vary cap <cap_id> online

If a CAP is not in manual operating mode, change the mode using the following command:

set cap manual <cap_id>

✓A list of UNIX device files for the drives.

Run the ioscan -fnsystem command on your system to display the required information.

For more information on UNIX device files, see HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Installation and Licensing Guide

Remote

The installation procedure consists of the steps:

Installation

1.Distribute the ACS Agent component to clients using the Data Protector graphical user interface and Installation Server for UNIX. See the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Installation and Licensing Guide.

2.Physically connect the library drives and the systems where you have installed ACS Agent.

See http://www.openview.hp.com/products/datapro/spec_0001.html for details about supported StorageTek devices.

See the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Installation and Licensing Guide for information about how to physically attach a backup device to the system. Also see the documentation that comes with the StorageTek library.

3.To start the ACS ssi daemon

• on UNIX ACS client, run the following command:
