You certainly can set the ACSLS server as the robotic control host using th=
e
NBU GUI. Just set the library type to ACS and NBU will give you the option
to specify the ACSLS hostname, and the ACS,LSM,PANEL,DRIVE co-ordinates of
the drive.
Also with ACSLS you can "parition" the library so that each of your NBU
master/media domains will only ever see their own drives and tapes, removin=
g
the need for inventory filters in NBU, and eliminating the possibility of
one master overwriting the other's tapes.
