Oracle's StorageTek Automated Cartridge System Library Software. This software manages contents of multiple StorageTek tape libraries and controls library hardware to mount and dismount cartridges on StorageTek tape drives.
ACSLS assigns resources to LTFS-LE as if it were a logical library. LTFS-LE then issues commands to ACSLS to read and write files, much in the same way that backup software does today
Application Programming Interface. A source code interface that an operating system or library provides to support requests for services to be made of it by computer programs. It facilitates the exchange of data between two or more software applications and extends the capabilities of the software.

Browser-Based User Interface (BUI)
See BUI.
Browser Based user Interface. A graphic user interface (GUI) that a user accesses using an internet browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
LTFS-LE includes a BUI used to configure and manage the LTFS-LE system.
In computer networking, Server Message Block (SMB), also known as Common Internet File System (CIFS) operates as an application-layer network protocol mainly used for providing shared access to files, printers, serial ports, and miscellaneous communications between nodes on a network. It also provides an authenticated inter-process communication mechanism. Most usage of SMB involves computers running Microsoft Windows, where it was known as "Microsoft Windows Network" before the subsequent introduction of Active Directory. Corresponding Windows services are the "Server Service" (for the server component) and "Workstation Service" (for the client component).
Also known as the Synthetic File System (Synthetic FS). The global namespace stores the organization of all files in LTFS-LE.
Linear Tape File System, Library Edition (LTFS-LE)
See LTFS-LE.
Linear Tape Open (LTO) Ultrium tape drive, providing fast data transfer, high capacity, and energy savings for midrange tape automation environments, enabling you to meet stringent regulatory requirements.
Oracle's Linear Tape File System Library Edition. A library wide implementation of the Linear Tape File System. LTFS-LE makes a library of tape storage function as a single mount point, providing direct POSIX complaint file system access to data stored on tape.
Oracle Universal Installer (OUI)
See OUI.
Oracle Universal Installer. A Java application that performs component-based installations and enables different levels of integrated bundle, suite, and Web-based installations, and also complex logic in a single package. The installation engine is easily portable across all Java-enabled platforms, and platform-specific issues can be encapsulated from the overall installation process.
Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX)
See POSIX.
Portable Operating System Interface. A family of standards specified by the IEEE for maintaining compatibility between operating systems. POSIX defines the application programming interface (API), along with command line shells and utility interfaces, for software compatible with variants of UNIX and other operating systems.
See RDA.
Remote Diagnostic Agent. A command-line diagnostic tool that is executed by an engine written in the Perl programming language. RDA provides a unified package of support diagnostics tools and preventive solutions. The data captured provides Oracle Support with a comprehensive picture of the customer's environment which aids in problem diagnosis.
A format where data is written in a manner that eliminates the need for a specific application to determine the contents of the data. LTFS-LE supports the open source LTFS 2.2 specification, which is self describing.
The backup copy of the global namespace, stored on the LTFS-LE server, outside of the LTFS-LE application.
Oracle's StorageTek SL150 modular library offers a combination of ease of use and scalability ideal for growing businesses. It supports mixed environments, including mainframe and open systems, and is scalable from 30 to 300 cartridge slots.
Oracle's StorageTek SL3000 modular library offers mixed media, logical and physical partitioning capabilities, advanced management, and high availability. It supports mixed environments, including mainframe and open systems, and is scalable from 200 to just under 6,000 cartridge slots.
Oracle's StorageTek SL8500 modular library offers mixed media, logical and physical partitioning capabilities, advanced management, and high capacity and availability. It supports mixed environments, including mainframe and open systems, and is scalable from the standard 1,450 cartridge slots to 100,880 cartridge slots in a complex configuration.
StorageTek Library Console. Oracle's StorageTek Library Console (SLC) software, which comes with the StorageTek SL8500, SL3000 and SL500 Modular Library Systems, enables you to easily monitor and manage your StorageTek libraries through a remote, network-based operator panel or an optional local touch screen. As it relates to LTFS-LE, SLC is primarily used for managing the library's capacity and configuring the partition assigned to LTFS-LE.
