Specifies the name of the Sun StorageTek ACSLS host; the ACS library software resides ACSLS host. On some UNIX server platforms, this host can also be a media server. The ACS library software component can be any of the following:
Note: If the device host that has drives under ACS robotic control is a Windows server, STK LibAttach software must also be installed. Obtain the appropriate LibAttach software from STK. For compatibility information, see the NetBackup Enterprise Server and Server - Hardware and Cloud Storage Compatibility List: An overview of ACS robots is available in the NetBackup Device Configuration Guide. |
