STK Libraries Attached to an ACSLS Server - Advanced

Add Volume Ranges

  1. Open the Expert Storage Configuration dialog box.

  2. Right-click the appropriate library, and then click Properties.

  3. From the Library Properties dialog box, enter the complete list of barcode ranges for volumes (tapes) in the library in the Volume Range box.

  4. Click OK.

Specify the CAP ID for Importing and Exporting Media

Use the following procedure to specify the CAP ID associated with the mail slot that will be used for importing and exporting media from the specific MediaAgent.

  1. From the CommCell Browser, right-click the library for which you wish to change the CAP selection, and then click Properties.

  2. Click the CAP Selection tab.

  3. Select the CAP ID that must be used for importing and exporting media.

  4. Click OK.

Move a Media Using the Set Scratch Option

  1. From the CommCell Console, expand to the Exported Media pool in the appropriate library.

  2. In the right-pane, right-click the media, and then click Set Scratch.

  3. Click OK.

Configure ACSLS Client Service on Solaris

On a Solaris MediaAgent, the ACSLS Client Service must be configured before configuring the STK library attached to an ACSLS Server. To configure a STK library that is controlled by an ACSLS server, you can use the Config ACSLS Services package to add the required services.

  1. Log on to the MediaAgent computer as root.

  2. Start the following program:

    <software installation path>/Base/config_acsls

    The following menu appears if ACSLS services are not configured: 

    Please select one of the options below:
 1) Config ACSLS Services
 2) Exit
 Your selection: [2]

  3. Type 1, and then press Enter.

    The following message appears:

    Please enter the name of the host running the ACSLS daemon. ACSLS Server host name:

  4. Enter the name of the host where the ACSLS server is installed, and then press Enter.

    The system copies the necessary files and creates the required configuration. A message appears:

    ACSLS services are currently CONFIGURED.

    A menu appears.

  5. Enter the number that corresponds with the Exit.

Use the commvault<inst_name> list command to check if the SSI service is running on the Solaris computer. See Controlling Services on Unix for details.

Post-Install Considerations

You must perform this task if the MediaAgent communicates with the ACSLS Server across a firewall.

  1. Make sure that the Firewall Secure option is configured in ACSLS Server and get the CSI_INET_PORT number.

  2. Edit the ssi.env file in the Base directory and add the following script below the line for ACSAPI_SSI_SOCKET=40004 setting and replace the SSI_HOSTNAME and two port numbers, if the values are different:

    ## additional parameters for ACSLS client firewall setting
 # add Client side SSI_HOSTNAME - hardcoded now ; SSI_INET_PORT=30031 (default)
 SSI_HOSTNAME=; export SSI_HOSTNAME
 SSI_INET_PORT=30031; export SSI_INET_PORT
 # add Server CSI_HOSTPORT=30031 (default) - must match CSI_INET_PORT setting on ACSLS Server
 CSI_HOSTPORT=30031; export CSI_HOSTPORT
 # trun off UDP protocol CSI_UDP_RPCSERVICE="FALSE"; export CSI_UDP_RPCSERVICE
 ## End firewall setting

  3. Stop and start the services. (See Controlling Services on Unix for instructions.)

  4. Verify communication between the MediaAgent and the ACSLS Server by running the ACSLSTool. For more information on the tool, see ACSLSTool.

Display Cleaning Media in the CommCell Console

  1. Open the Expert Storage Configuration dialog box.

  2. Right-click the appropriate library, and then click Properties.

  3. From the Library Properties dialog box, select the List ACSLS Clean Media option.

  4. Click OK.

  5. Right-click the library, and then click Reset Library.

    Once the library is reset, media containing the characters CLN as the first three characters in its barcode will be displayed in the Media in Library pool in the CommCell Console.

Automatically Detect Replaced Drives

  1. Open the Expert Storage Configuration dialog box.

  2. Right-click the appropriate library, and then click Properties.

  3. In the Library Properties dialog box, select the Use Drive ID for Drive Replacement option.

  4. Click OK.

Reconfiguring the Library After an IP Change

Use the following steps to reconfigure the library when the library's IP address is changed:

  1. Create another library using the steps described in STK Libraries Attached to an ACSLS Server - Configuration.

    • Do not configure the library.

    • During the creation, make sure to provide the new host IP address as the Server name. All the other information must be identical to the old library.

  2. Select the Library Controller and then drag and drop it on the old library.

  3. Reconfigure the old library as described in Configuring Devices.

    The devices appear as configured, detect success.

Increasing the Drive Slot Count for ACSLS IP Libraries

To add additional drives to an ACSLS IP library, increase the drive slot count.

Procedure

  1. Open the Expert Storage Configuration dialog box.

  2. Right-click the appropriate library, and then click Properties.

  3. In the Library Properties dialog box, on the Drive Slot Count option, use the arrow to increase the drive slot count.

  4. Click OK.

Result

The library will have as many additional drives that you just added, with a new empty drive address for each drive.
