Using the Dynamic Configuration (config) utility

The dynamic configuration (config) utility allows you to implement configuration changes to ACSLS libraries (and components) while ACSLS remains online and running. These configuration changes are recorded in the acsss_config.log file.

The following dynamic configuration utilities are supported:

• config acs

• config drives

• config lsm

• config ports

Using the config utility provides the following benefits:

• ACSLS can continue running, allowing you to perform mount requests to unaffected library components.

• Allows you to reconfigure specified library components while all other configuration information remains unchanged. For example, when specifying:

  • An ACS, the configurations of other ACSs are not affected.

  • An LSM, the configurations of other LSMs are not affected.

  • A drive panel (the drives on a panel) mounts and dismounts to all existing drives are not affected.
