1 Overview

Automated Cartridge System Library Software (ACSLS) is Oracle's StorageTek server software that controls StorageTek automated tape libraries. An Automated Cartridge System (ACS) is a group of tape libraries connected through pass-thru-ports (PTPs). ACSLS accesses and manages information stored in one or more ACSs through command processing across a network. The software includes a system administration component and interfaces to client system applications, and library management facilities. ACSLS 8.5 is bundled with WebLogic 10.3.6.

ACSLS 8.5 uses the relational database PostgreSQL. On Solaris 11, the PostgreSQL packages are available from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud in the same location where you find the STKacsls package. Linux installation procedures described in this publication include the process of adding PostgreSQL packages from the Oracle yum repository after installing the Linux Product Pack.
