Not every application is tested on every platform or version. To ensure the software is
supported, contact an Oracle marketing or sales representative, or application vendor.
Oracle representatives can check compatibility with the Interoperability Tool.
Other Storage System Solutions
The SL8500 library is compatible with several other Oracle products to provide a
multifaceted storage solution. This list is not all-inclusive. For more information

Client System Component (CSC)
The CSC allows SMC on MVS to use ACSLS as its library server. One CSC is Library
Station, which allows an open systems client to use HSC on MVS as its library server.
Expert Performance Reporter (ExPR)
ExPR software collects performance data and generates reports about status and
performance. It provides information on manual tape systems, as well as Nearline and
VSM tape systems. ExPR has both an MVS component and a PC component.
Extended High Performance Data Mover (ExHPDM)
ExHPDM is utility software that performs high-speed backup and restore of data sets
by interleaving very large block sizes on high-speed, high-capacity tape devices.
ExHPDM achieves its speed by treating all data equally regardless of the type. Its only
function is to move data from disk to very fast tape and back again.
The ExHPDM software moves blocks of data in parallel from several concurrently
executing MVS application programs. The data from the application programs is
buffered into 256 KB tape block sizes in the application program's address space, and
the 256 KB blocks are interleaved onto single or multiple tape volumes.
Library Content Manager (LCM)
LCM — formerly Expert Library Manager (ExLM) — manages Nearline and VSM
resources. LCM optimizes overall performance by assuring there are adequate
resources available for a scheduled job. LCM also includes LCM Explorer, a graphical
user interface that allows a user to configure LCM by creating configuration files
instead of parameter files.
StorageTek Tape Analytics (STA)
STA is an intelligent monitoring application available exclusively for StorageTek
Modular Tape Libraries. It simplifies tape storage management and helps make
informed decisions about future tape storage investments based on the current health
of the tape storage environment.
