ADIC/GRAU DAS and STK ACS Libraries

The STK ACS Library Device

Moving Media

Use this function to move media from one media pool to another. When you move media to another media pool, all the media information such as condition, type, medium ID, and session information is transferred to the new media pool.

Getting Information about Media

Use this functionality to display detailed information about the usage and condition of an individual selected Data Protector medium. This is a read-only window.

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

2.In the Scoping Pane, click Devices. The list of configured devices will display in the Results area.

3.In the list of configured devices click the name of the library, then expand it to display the Drives and Slots items.

4.Click Slots to display the list of slots in the Results Area.

5.Select a medium to view.

6.Information about the medium appears in the Results Area. See online Help for further information.

Querying the STK ACSLM Host

If you want to get information about a repository in the STK library from the server, you can query the ACSLM host. Querying ACSLM queries the ACSLS database, and then synchronizes the information in the IDB with what is actually in the repository.

This is especially useful if you were using STK commands to manage media, as this results in inconsistencies with the IDB - Data Protector does not know the latest status of media in the library repository.

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

2.In the list of configured devices click the name of the library, then expand it to display the Drives and Slots items.

3.Right-click the device that you want to query, and then click Query.
