Network Access

Oracle designs and documents all tape library products for use within a controlled server environment with no general network or user access. Network access is required between the library and various other servers and workstations.

Network access is required for:

  • Workstations used to access the library through the GUI or SCI interfaces
  • Servers running applications that use the SCI interface, such as an ACSLS server or a custom application that uses SCI
  • SMTP servers for sending e-mail notifications
  • SNMP servers
  • SDP2 server for "phone-home" (ASR) functionality
  • Oracle Key Manager (OKM) clusters for delivering encryption keys to tape drives

User access to the library requires credentials (id and password) to be created on the library and to be used when connecting to the library.
