Veritas NetBackup™ Device Configuration Guide

Multiple ACS robots and ACS library software hosts

NetBackup supports the following configuration:

  • A NetBackup server is connected to drives in multiple ACS robots.

  • The robots are controlled from separate ACS library software hosts.

The following figure shows multiple ACS robots that are controlled from multiple ACS library software hosts.

Figure: Multiple ACS robots, multiple ACS library software hosts

Inventory requests include the volumes that are configured on the ACS library software hosts (Host A for Robot 1 and Host B for Robot 2). The software hosts reside on the robot (ACS 0 for each) that is designated in the Oracle StorageTek drive address.

In this example, assume the following about drive 1:

  • Has an ACS drive address (ACS, LSM, panel, drive) of 0,0,1,1 in the NetBackup device configuration

  • Is under control of robot number 10 (ACS(10))

If any other robot ACS(10) drives have a different ACS drive address (for example, 1,0,1,0), the configuration is invalid.

NetBackup supports configurations of multiple LSMs in a single ACS robot if a pass-through port exists.
