Media Manager Commands for UNIX and Windows

Most of these commands are common between UNIX and Windows. The exceptions are noted.

• acsd Automated Cartridge System (ACS) daemon that interfaces with Media Manager to automatically mount and unmount tapes that are under Automated Cartridge System (ACS) control.

• lmfd, lmfcd Library Management Facility (LMF) daemon and control daemon to interface with Media Manager to mount and unmount tape volumes in an LMF robot.

• ltid Starts the Media Manager device daemon. The ltid command starts the Media Manager device daemon (ltid) and Automatic Volume Recognition daemon (avrd). These daemons manage Media Manager devices. The ltid command also starts the appropriate robotic daemons, if robotic devices were defined in Media Manager, as well as the Media Manager volume daemon, vmd.

• odld Optical Disk Library (ODL) daemon interfaces with Media Manager to mount and unmount optical platters in an optical disk library.

• rsmd Removable Storage Manager (RSM) process interfaces with Media Manager to automatically mount and unmount tapes that are under Microsoft Windows 2000 Removable Storage Manager (RSM) control.

• stopltid Stops the Media Manager device daemon, avrd, and the robotic daemons.

• tl4d Tape Library 4MM (TL4) daemon interfaces with Media Manager to mount and unmount tapes in a Tape Library 4MM (TL4) robot.

• tl8d, tl8cd Tape Library 8MM (TL8) daemon and control daemon interface with Media Manager to mount and unmount volumes in a Tape Library 8MM robot.

• tldd, tldcd Tape Library DLT (TLD) daemon and control daemon interface with Media Manager to mount and unmount volumes in a Tape Library DLT (TLD) robot.

• tlhd, tlhcd Tape Library Half-inch (TLH) daemon and control daemon interface with Media Manager to mount and unmount tape volumes in a Tape Library Half-inch (TLH) robot.

• tlmd Tape Library Multimedia (TLM) daemon interfaces with Media Manager to mount and unmount tapes in a Tape Library Multimedia (TLM) robot.

• tpautoconf Manages the global device database host and is normally used by the Device Configuration Wizard to automatically discover and configure devices.

• tpclean Manages tape drive cleaning by allowing you to monitor Media Manager tape drive usage and optionally configure tape drives to be automatically cleaned (except drives in ACS, LMF, ODL, RSM, or TLH robots; or shared (SSO) drives).

• tpconfig Tape configuration utility. tpconfig can be used as a command-line interface or menu interface (only on UNIX) to configure robots and drives for use with NetBackup or to display the current configuration.

• tpformat Formats optical disks for use by Media Manager.

• tpreq Requests a tape volume for mounting and associates a filename with the assigned drive.

• tpunmount Removes a tape volume from a drive and the associated tape file name from the directory.

• ts8d Tape Stacker 8MM (TS8) daemon interfaces with Media Manager to mount and unmount tapes in Tape Stacker 8MM robots.

• tsdd Tape Stacker DLT (TSD) daemon interfaces with Media Manager to mount and unmount tapes in Tape Stacker DLT (TSD) robots.

• tshd Tape Stacker Half-inch (TSH) daemon interfaces with Media Manager to mount and unmount tapes in Tape Stacker Half-inch (TSH) robots.

• vmadd Adds volumes to the volume database.

• vmadm Character-based media management utility used to manage volumes and volume pools, manage barcode rules, and inventory robots controlled by the Media Manager volume daemon (vmd).

• vmchange Changes media information in the Media Manager volume database.

• vmcheckxxx Reports the media contents of a robotic library and optionally compares its contents with the volume configuration.

• vmd Media Manager volume daemon that manages the volume database, responding to requests to add, change, list, or delete volumes.

• vmdelete Deletes volumes from the volume database.

• vmoprcmd Performs operator functions on drives.

• vmpool Manages volume pools, allowing you to add, change, delete, or list volume pools.

• vmquery Queries the volume database, or assigns and unassigns volumes.

• vmrule Manages barcode rules.

• vmupdate Inventories the media contents of a robotic library and updates the volume database.
