About robotic control on HP-UX
Several options exist for robotic control, as follows:
SCSI, Serial-attached SCSI (SAS), or Fibre Channel Protocol control.
SCSI control includes Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP), which is SCSI over Fibre Channel. A robotic device in a library moves the media between storage slots and the drives in the library.
API control over a LAN.
See the "ADIC Automated Media Library (AML)" topic.
See the "IBM Automated Tape Library (ATL)" topic.
See the "Oracle Sun StorageTek ACSLS robots" topic.
If you use API control, you still must configure tape drive device file access in HP-UX.
