Applications that Support the SL4000

Certain library management, encryption, or analytics applications support the SL4000.

Not every application is tested on every platform or version. To verify the software is supported, contact an Oracle sales representative or application vendor.

The following are support the SL4000:

Software Vendors (ISVs)

Oracle Hierarchical Storage Manager (HSM)
Oracle Secure Backup
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Data Protector
Commvault Software
Dell/EMC NetWorker
IBM Spectrum Protect
Veritas Netbackup
DIVA

Automated Cartridge System Library Software (ACSLS)

Automated Cartridge System Library Software (ACSLS) is an application that can manage all library operations. It efficiently shares library resources, allowing centralized library control across multiple StorageTek libraries.

ACSLS 8.5+ is required for interfacing with the SL4000 library.

You can install ACSLS onto a feature card housed within the Base card cage. ACSLS 8.5+ is required to the feature card. ACSLS 8.5.1+ is required for the dual feature card configuration.

For more information, refer to the ACSLS documentation under the Storage Software section at: https://docs.oracle.com/en/storage/storage-software/acsls/.

Oracle Key Manager (OKM)

OKM provides data security by creating, storing, and managing the encryption keys for stored data.

OKM uses a cluster of Key Management Appliances (KMAs) that connect to encryption agents (such as tape drives). The KMAs can be managed using a secure GUI or CLI. For HP LTO drives, OKM connects to individual tape drives. For drives IBM LTO-6 or higher, OKM connects to the library if using Library Managed Encryption (LME).

For more information on OKM, refer to the OKM documentation at https://docs.oracle.com/en/storage/storage-software/oracle-key-manager/

Service Delivery Platform 2 (SDP2)

The StorageTek Service Delivery Platform 2 (SDP-2) is a support solution that provides faster problem resolution, analysis and trending, and improved diagnostics.

SDP is a remote application that can be installed on a Linux server that connects to the library. SDP collects device events and alerts support analysts, providing remote diagnosis and automatic service requests (ASR).

StorageTek Tape Analytics (STA)

StorageTek Tape Anlytics (STA) is an intelligent monitoring application for tape libraries.

STA simplifies tape storage management and allows you to make informed decisions about future tape storage investments based on the current health of the tape storage environment. STA tracks mounts, dismounts, and media usage within your tape library system. STA requires a dedicated server. Oracle recommends that you place the STA server on the same subnet as the library to improve communication reliability. To set up communications between the STA server and the libraries, you must perform some configuration procedures on the libraries and some on the STA server.

For more information, refer to the STA documentation at: https://docs.oracle.com/en/storage/storage-software/storagetek-tape-analytics/

STA version 2.4.0+ supports the SL4000 Library.
