6.8.13.5 ADIC Automatic Media Library Storage Systems Information
6.8.13.5.1 Vendor Software Requirements
HPSS is designed to work with ADIC Distributed Automated Media Library Server (DAS) software
version 1.3 and theABBA Management Unit (AMU) version 2.4.0. DAS is the ADIC software which
consists of the Automated Media Library (AML) Client Interface (ACI) and the DAS server
components. The AMU is the host computer software by which the ADIC Storage System manages
the archive database, which is based on a DB/2 compatible database for an OS/2 system.
The AMU must run on a OS/2 PC host computer connected to the AML robot while the HPSS AML
PVR can run on any RS/6000 workstation that has a TCP/IP connection to the OS/2 host computer.
The workstation running the HPSS AML PVR must also contain the DAS/ACI software that is
called by the HPSS AML PVR.
Refer to ADIC DAS Installation and Administration Guide and Reference Guide AMU for additional
information.
6.8.13.5.2 Configuration Requirements
HPSS can share an AML robot with other tape management systems. If a robot is shared, care must
be taken to make sure that a drive is not used by any other tape management system while that
drive is configured as unlocked in HPSS. This is important because HPSS can be configured to
periodically poll all of its unlocked drives even if they are not currently mounted or in use by HPSS.
If a drive is being used by another tape management system, it must be configured as locked in
HPSS. For robots that have more than one arm (such as the AML/2), users should configure the
PVL Drive Information/Controller ID of each drive depending which arm is servicing it.
