Using Data Protector to Access the STK ACS Library

Once you have configured your environment and installed the ACS
Media Agent on the systems that will access the library robotics, you are
ready to use the Data Protector GUI to access the media in the STK ACS
library. The following sections provide instructions on using Data
Protector with the STK integration.

NOTE

Data Protector allows you to connect directly to the ACS Library Server
host and perform some management tasks.

To connect to the ACS Library Server host, choose

Actions, Connect

to ACSLM

from the

Library Management

window.

This action performs a

remsh

command to the ACSLS host and starts

cmd_proc

. If you want to change the default settings for this action,

change the

ACSLMHOST

option in the global options file.

Searching for Media

Use this function to locate a specific medium without having to browse
the entire list of media. Data Protector locates media by searching
through Medium Labels, then Medium Locations, and finally Medium
IDs.

1. In the

HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Manager

, switch to

the

Devices & Media

context.

2. To search for media in a media pool, select the

Media

item.

To search for media in a library, select the

Devices

item.

3. In the

Edit

menu, click

Find

. The Find dialog box appears.

Use the appropriate search method to search for media.
