Media and device management processes
Table Table: Starting services and processes shows the NetBackup services and processes that control storage devices with removable media. NetBackup starts the processes as needed, but you can start some of them manually. The table also shows the commands that start each one.
These commands are located in the following directories:
UNIX |
|
Windows |
|

Table: Starting services and processes
Command | Description |
|---|---|
acsd | The Automated Cartridge System robotic process. The Device Manager ltid starts this process. |
avrd | The Automatic Volume Recognition process. The Device Manager ltid starts this process. |
ltid | Starts the NetBackup Device Manager service. Starting the Device Manager also starts the robotic, robotic control, Media Manager volume, and automatic volume recognition daemons. To stop the device, robotic, and robotic-control services, use the stopltid command. |
tl4d | The tape library 4MM robotic process. The Device Manager ltid starts this process. |
tl8cd | Starts the tape library 8MM robotic-control process. The Device Manager ltid starts this process. |
tl8d | The tape library 8MM robotic process. The Device Manager ltid starts this process. To stop the tape library 8MM robotic-control process, use tl8cd -t. |
tldcd | Starts the tape library DLT robotic-control process. The Device Manager ltid starts this process. To stop the tape library DLT robotic-control process, use tldcd -t. |
tldd | The tape library DLT robotic process. The Device Manager ltid starts this process. |
tlhcd | Starts the tape library Half-inch robotic-control process. The Device Manager ltid starts this process. To stop the tape library Half-inch robotic-control process, use tlhcd -t. |
tlhd | The tape library Half-inch robotic process. The Device Manager ltid starts this process. |
tlmd | The tape library Multimedia process. The Device Manager ltid starts this process. |
vmd | The NetBackup Volume Manager service. The Device Manager ltid starts this process. |
On UNIX, you can use the kill pid command to stop the process for the daemon with the specified pid (process ID).
On Windows, you can start and stop services by using the tool available in in the Microsoft Windows Control Panel. If they are started from the command line, some services occupy that NetBackup Console session until they are stopped.
