1.)
You want the cap mode automatic as as I understand it once all
your volumes are in the cap or the cap is full it places in cap in an
eject state, otherwise the cap has to manually be placed in an eject state.
2.)
Once the eject is initiated in the Vault, the job will wait for
all designated volumes to be pulled from the cap, if you have a cap of capacity
20, and you have 30 tapes to vault eject, you will need to remove the first 20
batch, close the cap and then eject the remaining 10. Only once this is
done will the vault job continue and complete.
3.)
What library are you using and does NBU know you library has an
access port. One way to check would be to select any volume and eject it and
see whether it places it in the cap.
4.)
There is quite a lot to ACSLS, depends how you plan on using it
i.e. are you going to share the library between mainframe and NBU for instance,
this would require setting up pools, volume attribute etc etc.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] ACSLS & Vault
A couple of question for you ACSLS users:
1- Do I want the cap door mode automatic or manual?
(What is the difference)
2- I use the Vault option with Netbackup Enterprise.
How does the eject process work with ACSLS?
3- When I put tapes in the access port, I cannot click on
'Empty access port..." when trying to perform an inventory on the
library. Is the option suppose to be greyed out?
4- Any other useful informaiton you can think of that I
should be aware of when using ACSLS with netbackup? (perhaps something
you found out that was helpful in the past).
