Enhanced device discovery and auto configuration
This version of NetBackup enhances device discovery by upgrading the Device
Configuration Wizard so it now configures robots and drives in StorageTek's
Automated Cartridge System Library Software (ACSLS) and ADIC's Scalar
Distributed Library Controller (SDLC) libraries.
Note: For NetBackup ACS Robot Auto Configuration to work, the ACSLS Server must
be able to report the serial numbers of the robotic tape drives. ACSLS 6.1 and
later releases report drive serial numbers by using the display command.
However, ACSLS can only report serial numbers when the drives report their
serial numbers to the library and the library reports the drive serial numbers
to ACSLS.
The following drives and libraries report drive serial numbers to ACSLS and
allow Auto Configuration:
■ Drives:
T9x40x, LTO (Gen 1, 2, 3), DLT 7000 and later drives, T1000, and SDLT.
■ Libraries:
SCSI attached and SCSI over Fibre Channel attached STK libraries 97xx,
L20/40/80, L180, L700, L700e, L5500, SL500, and SL8500.
The following drives and libraries do not report serial numbers to ACSLS and
must be configured manually:
■ Drives:
9490 (TimberLine), SD3 (RedWood) and earlier drives.
■ Libraries:
9310 (PowderHorn), 9360 (WolfCreek), 4410, and serial-attached 9740.
Note: NetBackup ACS Robot Auto Configuration will not work with HSC/LibStation
attached libraries since LibStation does not report drive serial numbers.
You must configure these devices manually. ***** is this what you are seeing?

Hi All
Hit another snag in a new deployment, seem to be requiring knowledge from the
group on a number of occasions over the last couple of months, its appreciated.
Our DR environment has just acquired an STK SL3000 and we are having issues
with the robotic config in NBU.
If you run the wizard the results are that NBU interprets the library as remote
for some unknown reason.
We have downloaded the device mappings and applied successfully however don't
seem to be able to get it working.
... message summarized ...
However, even I try add the library through tpconfig I just don't seem
to be able to get is working.
Anyone know of any gotach'a with this particular library??
Regards
David Clooney
