ACSLS offers the following advantages:
■ Handles multiple libraries and multiple clients
■ Manages tape drive loading and unloading
■ Manages tape volume importing and exporting
■ Handles mixed media types
■ Optionally imposes access controls based on user ID, command, and volume ID
■ Supports multiple pools of scratch tapes
■ Generates inventory and configuration reports
■ Manages cleaning cartridges and cleaning operations
ACSLS and Oracle Secure Backup
An ACSLS volume is called a cartridge. Cartridges are loaded and unloaded through
cartridge access points. Oracle Secure Backup obtool device commands mkdev,
chdev, lsdev, and rmdev have been modified to manage these cartridge access
points.
ACSLS references all of its volumes by their external barcode labels, which are
required for all ACS volumes. Oracle Secure Backup continues to allow the operator to
access these ACS volumes by storage element, volume label, and barcode label.
Note: ACSLS can be controlled using obtool only. Neither the
Oracle Secure Backup Web tool nor Oracle Enterprise Manager is
supported for ACSLS.
