Library Manager Product Description
The diagram below shows how Library Manager enables the attachment of the DSI Virtual
Tape Library (VTL) and DSI Physical Tape Library (PTL) to OS 2200 systems, in an
environment with other tape devices.
Library Manager and its support of DSI VTLs and DSI PTLs may coexist with manual
tape drives and/or with Oracle/STK cartridge tape libraries (CTLs).
The oblique orange lines show the data path. For I/O, the VTL is connected to the
2200 system via Fibre Channels.
The horizontal green lines indicate the control path. This is the communications
path used byLibrary Manager to issue mount and dismount commands to their libraries.
Library Manager is closely integrated with STAR-1100. The Library Manager uses ComAPI
to communicate with the VTL and with the STAR Scratch Pool Selector Service.
- Can be configured for your OS 2200 to be connected to multiple
VTL libraries.
- Can be configured for multiple OS 2200 systems to connect to
a single VTL library.
- Supports one physical tape library (PTL) connecting to one OS
2200 system.
- Has a set of commands you enter from the system console to control
operations.
- Integrates with scratch pools managed by STAR-1100 and provides
for a default pool.
- Maintains communications with the VTL and/or PTL to sychronize

the release media. Optionally, it can be generated through COMUS for implementing
corrections or alternative configurations.
