Program/
Daemon
Description
acssel Available only on UNIX. See the Media Manager System Administrator’s
Guide (UNIX or Windows NT/2000) for details.
acsssi Available only on UNIX. See the Media Manager System Administrator’s
Guide (UNIX or Windows NT/2000) for details.
ascd The Automated Cartridge System Software daemon interfaces with the
Automated Cartridge System and communicates with the server that
controls the ACS robotics. Also, for UNIX see the acsssi and acssel
programs.
Started By: Starting ltid (or on UNIX, independently by using the
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/ascd command.
Stopped By: Stopping ltid (or on UNIX, independently by finding the
PID (process id) and then using the kill command).
Activity Log: All errors are logged in the system log. Debug information
is included by adding VERBOSE to the Media Manager configuration file,
vm.conf. On UNIX, debug information is also included by starting the
daemon with the -v option (either by itself or through ltid) or by putting
VERBOSE in the vm.conf file.
avrd The automatic-volume-recognition daemon controls automatic volume
assignment and label scanning. This lets Media Manager read labeled tape
and optical disk volumes and to automatically assign the associated
removable media to requesting processes.
Started By: Starting ltid (or on UNIX, independently by using the
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/avrd command).
Stopped By: Stopping ltid, (or on UNIX, independently by finding the
PID (process id) and then using the kill command).
Activity Log: All errors are logged in the system log. Debug information
is included by adding VERBOSE to the Media Manager configuration file,
vm.conf. On UNIX, debug information is also included by aborting avrd
and starting the daemon with the -v option.
