Veritas NetBackup™ Device Configuration Guide

Multiple ACS robots with one ACS library software host

NetBackup supports the following configuration:

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

  • The robots are controlled from a single ACS library software host.

The following figure shows multiple ACS robots that are controlled from a single ACS library software host.

Figure: Multiple ACS robots, one ACS library software host

Inventory requests include: the volumes that are configured on the ACS library software host that resides on the ACS robot that is designated in the 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.
