1 Overview and System Requirements for Entry Level Media Manager (ELMM) This section contains: Product Overview 1-1 ELMM Connection Configuration Overview 1-2 System Requirements 1-3 Product Overview Entry Level Media Manager (ELMM) is a product that allows auto cartridge loader (ACL) tape drives to run unattended backups and restores. It allows manual interaction with a GUI interface. It can communicate with HP NonStop NS-series servers and Blade systems via TCP/IP.
Overview and System Requirements for Entry Level Media Manager (ELMM) ELMM Connection Configuration Overview ELMM Connection Configuration Overview In order for the ELMM software to control an ACL, the ACL control path must be configured from a NonStop NS-series or Blade server to the ACL. The server controls the movements of the ACL’s robotic cartridge shuttle. The ACL must be configured in random access mode to allow the ELMM software to run.
Overview and System Requirements for Entry Level Media Manager (ELMM) System Requirements System Requirements Workstation Hardware and Software Requirements The workstation must have this hardware and software: ! ! ! ! ! ! Windows 7 (32 bit and 64 bit), Windows XP Professional, and Windows 2000 Internet Explorer 5.

6 Using the ELMM Utility Interface Program (INTFACE) This section covers: Overview 6-1 ELMM Utility Interface Program (INTFACE) 6-1 Overview A NonStop EMS subsystem for such purposes is provided. In this regard, a subsystem process name has been assigned to licensed users and will in turn filter (EMS filter) for messages from that subsystem. Unrecognized subsystems will have their messages rejected. A given third party will structure interprocess messages to this subsystem as described below.
Using the ELMM Utility Interface Program (INTFACE) IMPORT Function IMPORT Function The IMPORT function of the utility program will allow the importing of all tape cartridges in the CAP of the ACL connected to the NonStop system. It reports an error if the import does not occur. Syntax: Run .INTFACE/NAME/ IMPORT Examples: Run $SYSTEM.ELMM.INTFACE/NAME/ IMPORT 000001 $SYSTEM.ELMM IMPORT is the function. 000001 is the tape number. $SYSTEM.
Using the ELMM Utility Interface Program (INTFACE) EXPORT Function You can use this TACL routine. ?TACL routine == == This TACL routine is an example that can be used to EXPORT tapes from a tape == library to the CAP using the ELMM UTILITY with the EXPORT function. Variables in == BOLD have to be changed for your environment. == == Usage for the ELMM UTILITY EXPORT function: == The given parameters are needed. == Run .
Using the ELMM Utility Interface Program (INTFACE) REPORT Function #output Bad Status - [^status] ] == endif #set ^status #unframe REPORT Function The REPORT function of the utility program allows you to create a report on disk of the ACL contents. It reports only tape cartridges in valid slots, not in the CAP or in a tape drive. Syntax: Run .INTFACE/NAME/ REPORT Examples: Run $SYSTEM.ELMM.INTFACE /NAME/ REPORT $SYSTEM.OUTPUT.
Using the ELMM Utility Interface Program (INTFACE) REPORT Function 3. The operator imports them into the ACL with the GUI. 4. Now the ELMM utility REPORT function can be invoked in a TACL routine to create an ACL inventory file on disk. This can be done immediately or scheduled for a certain time of day using a batch scheduler such as Netbatch. 5. The TACL routine uses the inventory output file to check each tape cartridge against the DSM/TC database.
Using the ELMM Utility Interface Program (INTFACE) REPORT Function #push library^out == variable for naming REPORT output diskfile #push media_status == output variable for mediacom #push media_in == input variable to mediacom #push tape_list == variable to contain REPORT diskfile used in FILETOVAR #push tapevol == tape cartridge number extracted from tape_list variable in loop #push line == output variable from VFIND to find tape cartridge in DSM/TC #push elmm^loc == NonStop server location of ELMM ISV $
Using the ELMM Utility Interface Program (INTFACE) REPORT Function == Loop through the ACL Inventory, comparing VOLSER to MEDIACOM info and set == tapevolume to SCRATCH if in RELEASED state [#loop |while| not [#emptyv/blank/ tape_list] |do| #extractv tape_list tapevol #set media_in INFO TAPEVOLUME [tapevol],POOL [^pool] sink [#wait media_in] == == Finding the status of the tape cartridge in mediacom from the mediacom output vfind /quiet, to line/ media_status "[tapevol]" == == If LINE variable is not empt
Using the ELMM Utility Interface Program (INTFACE) MOUNT Function MOUNT Function The MOUNT function of the utility program allows the mounting of one tape cartridge to a tape drive in an ACL connected to the NonStop server. It reports an error if the mount did not occur. Syntax: Run .INTFACE/NAME/ MOUNT Example: Run $SYSTEM.ELMM.INTFACE/NAME/ MOUNT 000001 $TAPE1 $SYSTEM.ELMM Run $SYSTEM.ELMM.INTFACE/NAME/ MOUNT 000001 NONE $SYSTEM.
Using the ELMM Utility Interface Program (INTFACE) DISMOUNT Function DISMOUNT Function The DISMOUNT function of the utility program allows the dismounting of one tape cartridge from a tape drive in an ACL connected to the NonStop server. It reports an error if the dismount does not occur. Syntax: Run .INTFACE/NAME/ DISMOUNT Example: Run $SYSTEM.ELMM.INTFACE/NAME/ DISMOUNT 000001 $SYSTEM.ELMM DISMOUNT is the function. 000001 is the tape cartridge number. $SYSTEM.
Using the ELMM Utility Interface Program (INTFACE) DRIVEREPORT Function DRIVEREPORT Function The DRIVEREPORT function of the utility program allows the reporting of tapes in the tape drives. Syntax: Run .INTFACE/NAME/ DRIVEREPORT Example: Run $SYSTEM.ELMM.INTFACE/NAME/ DRIVEREPORT $SYSTEM.OUTPUT.DRVLIST $SYSTEM.ELMM DRIVEREPORT is the function. $SYSTEM.OUTPUT.DRVLIST is the output file for the listing. $SYSTEM.
Using the ELMM Utility Interface Program (INTFACE) DRIVESTATUS Function DRIVESTATUS Function The DRIVESTATUS function of the utility program allows the reporting of the status of each drive. The function returns what state each drive is in as displayed in the configuration, up or down. Syntax: Run .INTFACE/NAME/ DRIVESTATUS Example: Run $SYSTEM.ELMM.INTFACE/NAME/ DRIVESTATUS $SYSTEM.OUTPUT.STATUS $SYSTEM.ELMM DRIVESTATUS is the function. $SYSTEM.

A Server ELMM Process Functions SERVER TSIMMS0: This process is the initiator. It starts all other processes, socket connections for all client and GUI connections. All messages from the client process and GUI are sent here and then sent along to TSIMMS5. TSIMMS1: This process handles all control path (mount, dismount, import and exports). TSIMMS2: This process sends messages to TSIMMS2 from TSIMMS0. It acts as a buffer. If a message was not received from TSIMMS2, it will queue and resend it later.
