acs

Automated Cartridge System This is the library acs identifier.

ACSLS

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.

acslsPath

A string represents the ACSLS path of the volume (acs,lsm,panel,row,column) or drive (acs,lsm,panel,drive).

API

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.

assignedStatus

availableStatus

Volume or drive availability status. Valid availability statuses are:

  • Volume - "Available" and Unavailable"

  • Drive - "Available", "Unavaiable", and "In Use"

The jobStatus from getJobResult is either "Success" or "Failed"

jobUser

The user name, such as ltfsledmin.

LSM

Library Storage Module. An ACS structure that provides the storage area for cartridges, cartridge drives, CAPs, and the robot necessary for moving them.

ltfsUUID

The UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) of a volume is a string of characters and numbers that is created when the volume is formatted using the mkltfs command.

onlineStatus

pool

A collection of tape cartridges having one or more similar features or attributes, such as a pool of data tapes.

roles

  • Admin

    This role is reserved for the system administrator responsible for configuring and managing the LTFS-LE system. It provides access to all LTFS-LE system facilities.

  • Monitor

    This role applies to a basic user who wants to monitor drives, volumes, and system resources. It provides limited access to the LTFS-LE system, with read-only permissions

  • Service

    This role applies to the Service Representative. It provides Administrator level access, but uses login credentials that are specific to Services. This role may include additional command-line interface (CLI) capabilities for servicing procedures.

serviceCalled
