DESCRIPTION

The sam-robotsd daemon starts and monitors the execution of the media changer library control daemons for Oracle HSM. The sam-robotsd daemon is started automatically by the sam-amld daemon if there are any libraries defined in the mcf file. The sam-robotsd daemon starts and monitors the correct daemon for all defined libraries. For more information on the mcf file, see the mcf (4) man page.

Each library daemon is responsible for monitoring the preview table for the VSNs that are controlled by that daemon. If a request is found for one of its VSNs, the daemon finds an available drive under its control and moves the cartridge into that drive. When the device is ready, the daemon notifies the Oracle HSM library daemon, and the device is assigned to the waiting process.

The identifiers are as follows:

mshmid

The identifier of the master shared memory segment created by the sam-amld daemon.

pshmid

The identifier of the preview shared memory segment created by the sam-amld daemon.

equip

The equipment number of the device.

The sam-genericd daemon controls libraries that conform to the SCSI II standard for media changers.

The sam-stkd daemon controls StorageTek libraries through the ACSAPI interface and is included in the Oracle HSM software package. For more information on this interface, see the stk (7) man page.

The sam-cloudd daemon controls cloud libraries for the Oracle Cloud Storage service and is included in the Oracle HSM software package. For more information on this interface, see the cloud (7) man page.
