1NetBackup CommandsThis chapter describes all of the NetBackup commands that can be referenced on aWindows platform in alphabetical order.acsdNAMEacsd - Automated Cartridge System (ACS) processSYNOPSISinstall path\Volmgr\bin\acsdDESCRIPTIONacsd interfaces with Media Manager to automatically mount and unmount tapes that areunder Automated Cartridge System (ACS) control. It is initiated by the NetBackup DeviceManager service (ltid), if the Media Manager device configuration shows drives in anACS robot. Stopping ltid stops acsd.acsd performs its tasks by sending requests to the STK LibAttach service whichcommunicates with the server that controls the Automated Cartridge System.When the connection is established, acsd puts the ACS robot in the UP state and canmount and unmount tapes. If the connection cannot be established or AutomatedCartridge System errors exist, acsd changes the robot to the DOWN state. In this state,acsd is still running and returns the robot to the UP state when the problem no longerexists.Drives are addressed and defined in Media Manager using the following: ACS number,LSM number, Panel number, and Drive number.Drive cleaning for ACS robots
