Figure 50 Sharing an ADIC/GRAU or StorageTek ACS library

Figure 50 on page 170 shows an ADIC/GRAU or StorageTek ACS library, with its robotics attached to an ADIC/GRAU or StorageTek ACS Server and configured on the Data Protector client system with either the General Media Agent or the NDMP Media Agent installed. The ADIC/GRAU robotic control protocol is used by the General Media Agent or the NDMP Media Agent on the client. The ADIC/GRAU or the StorageTek ACS Server 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.
