Library Management Software
Library Overview 1-15
Library Attach
Library Attach (LibAttach) for Windows Servers is a client application that enables
Windows networks to use Oracle's StorageTek storage libraries. LibAttach provides
the connection between a Windows application and ACSLS through a TCP/IP
network.
LibAttach is included with the SLC download. No additional activation is required.
For more information, refer to the Library Attach documentation on OTN.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
SNMP is an application layer protocol that performs network management operations
over an Ethernet connection. SNMP allows the library to inform the administrator of
potential problems. The administrator can query the library for configuration,
operation, and statistical informations using SNMP traps. The library supports SNMP
v2c and SNMP v3.
There is a Management Information Base (MIB) on the controller card which contains
information that describes the library, components, and configuration. For more
information, see the StorageTek Tape Library SNMP Reference Guide.
Log SnapShot Feature
The Log SnapShot feature is a utility that gathers, compresses, and encrypts logs from
a given controller card or from an entire library such as the SL8500 library. A log
snapshot can be generated using the CLI or SLC. Only authorized Oracle
representatives have access to the data obtained from the Log SnapShot utility.
Service Delivery Platform
The Service Delivery Platform (SDP) is a smart appliance that monitors the library and
T-series drives. SDP provides remote diagnosis by logging device events and alerting
Oracle support if there is an issue.
For more information, see "Service Delivery Platform" on page 1-25.
Library Management Software
Library management software controls the library by allocating drives and requesting
library operations, such as entering, mounting, dismounting, and ejecting cartridges.
Library management software manages the library database, which tracks volume
identifiers (vol-ids), attributes, and locations of cartridges.
There are two main library management options:
■ Automated Cartridge System Library Software (ACSLS)
■ Enterprise Library Software (ELS)
Automated Cartridge System Library Software (ACSLS)
ACSLS is centralized, multi-platform library management software for an
open-systems environment. ACSLS manages all library operations and shares library
resources with any ACSLS-enabled application. A single instance of ACSLS can
manage multiple libraries. The key benefits of ACSLS include:
■ Centralized library control across multiple StorageTek libraries, including legacy
technology.
