Media Manager Functional Description
rsmd The Tape Library RSMD daemon is the interface between ltid and the
Microsoft Windows 2000 Removable Storage Manager (RSM) interface.
The rsmd daemon runs only on Windows 2000 systems; note that the
system must have rsm devices configured in the Media Manager interface.
Started By: Starting ltid on Windows 2000 only.
Stopped By: Stopping ltid on Windows 2000 only.
Activity Log: All errors are logged in the system log. Debug information
is included in the system log as notifications.
tl4d The Tape Library 4MM daemon is the interface between ltid and the
Tape Library 4MM and communicates with the robotics through a SCSI
interface.
Started By: Starting ltid (or on UNIX, independently by using the
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/tl4d 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).
tl8d The Tape Library 8MM daemon drives in the same TL8 robot may be
attached to different hosts than the robotic control. tl8d is the interface
between the local ltid and the robotic control. If a host has a device
control file for a drive in a TL8 robot, then mount or unmount requests for
that drive go first to the local ltid and then to the local tl8d (all on the
same host). tl8d then forwards the request to tl8cd on the host that is
controlling the robot (could be on another host).
Started By: Starting ltid (or on UNIX, independently by using the
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/tl8d 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).
