Welcome!

Oracle's StorageTek Virtual Storage Manager Graphical User Interface (VSM GUI) provides a Web-based interface to Virtual Tape Control Software (VTCS) management and reporting commands for the StorageTek VSM library products.

VSM GUI is available in two forms:

  • Pre-installed as an LDOM (virtual machine) in a VSM console (VSMc) server

  • A standalone virtual machine software product to be installed on a VMware or Oracle VM (x86-64) server

Either form provides a virtual machine that includes all necessary software already installed to run the VSM GUI. It is then user-configured to communicate with VTCS, to gather, display, and report on VSM resources, and to issue command requests to VTCS.
