Figure 48 Sharing a SCSI library (robotics attached to a Data Protector Client System)

Figure 48 on page 168 shows a SCSI library, with its robotics attached to and configured on the Data Protector client system with either the General Media Agent or the NDMP Media Agent installed. The SCSI robotic control protocol is used by the General Media Agent or the NDMP Media Agent on the client. The Data Protector client system with the attached robotics can also have one or more drives attached.

The NDMP dedicated drive in the library is configured on the Data Protector client system with the NDMP Media Agent installed. The NDMP drive control protocol is used by the NDMP Media Agent on the client.

Another drive in the library is configured on and attached to the Data Protector client system with either the General Media Agent or the NDMP Media Agent installed. The SCSI drive control protocol is used by the General Media Agent or the NDMP Media Agent on the client.
