ADIC/GRAU DAS and STK ACS Libraries
The STK ACS Library Device
Chapter 14680
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-Specific
Media
Management
Query puts the volsers (tapes) from all silos controlled by one ACSLS
machine into one library. Data Protector needs to use the first value in
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.
