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 you specify an ACS, the configurations of other ACSs are not affected.
-
When you specify an LSM, the configurations of other LSMs are not affected.
-
When you specify a drive panel (the drives on a panel), mounts and dismounts to all existing drives are not affected.
-
Note:
Dynamic configuration can be used to configure a new ACS, or re-configure an existing ACS. You cannot use dynamic configuration to delete an SL4000 ACS.
