StorageTek ACSLS Library Configuration

This option allows you to configure or modify the configuration of a StorageTek ACSLS Library in the Windows environment.

Configuring your system consists of the following:

• StorageTek ACSLS Option setup checks for LibAttach services to ensure they are running.
• StorageTek ACSLS Option setup instructs ACSLS to mount a volume in every drive. It will then assign the drives to the Arcserve Backup server, as well as assign it a number that is based on the logic sequence of the drive.

Note: This option applies if only an ACSLS Library is attached to Arcserve Backup (Use Automatic Library Configuration). Do not use this option if other libraries or stand-alone tape drives are in your environment or if your ACSLS library contains drives that use different types of media (Use Manual Library Configuration).

StorageTek ACSLS Option’s configuration options, Volume Configuration and Drive Configuration allow you to further customize your library after installation. When you have finished adding the Drive and Volumes, restart the Arcserve Backup Tape Engine and you will see the newly added Drives and Volumes.

Although the drives you configured for StorageTek ACSLS Option are not physical libraries, Arcserve Backup interprets them as such, thus allowing you to employ all of the features of the Tape Library Option. With Tape Library Option, you can use the StorageTek ACSLS Option configured drives in the same manner as you use a physical library with one exception: you cannot Import/Export a volume from the tape library.

For information on all of the Tape Library options, see the Tape Library Option Guide.
