Library Management Software

Other Storage System Solutions

The following Oracle products are compatible with the SL3000 library to provide a
multifaceted storage solution. This list is not all-inclusive. For more information,

Client System Component (CSC)

The client system component (MVS/CSC) allows SMC on MVS to use ACSLS as its
library server. One CSC is Library Station, which allows an open systems client to use
HSC on MVS as its library server.

Expert Performance Reporter

Expert Performance Reporter (ExPR) software collects performance data and generates
reports about status and performance. It provides information on manual tape systems
as well as Nearline and VSM tape systems. ExPR has both an MVS component and a
PC component.

Extended High Performance Data Mover

Extended High Performance Data Mover (ExHPDM) is utility software that performs
high-speed backup and restore of data sets by interleaving very large block sizes on
high-speed, high-capacity tape devices. ExHPDM achieves its speed by treating all
data equally regardless of the type. Its only function is to move data from disk to tape
and back again.
The ExHPDM software moves blocks of data in parallel from several concurrently
executing MVS application programs. The data from the application programs is
buffered into 256 KB tape block sizes in the application program's address space, and
the 256 KB blocks are interleaved onto single or multiple tape volumes.

Library Content Manager (LCM)

Library Content Manager (LCM) — formerly Expert Library Manager (ExLM) —
manages Nearline and VSM resources. LCM optimizes overall performance by
assuring there are adequate resources available for a scheduled job. LCM also includes
LCM Explorer, a graphical user interface that allows a user to configure LCM by
creating configuration files instead of parameter files.

Linear Tape File System (LTFS)

LTFS software improves file access and portability of data on StorageTek T10000 or
LTO media. LTFS software enables applications to write and retrieve files directly from
tape through standard file format interfaces: CIFS or POSIX. Files may also be accessed
with ease through a browser or operating system graphical interface. You can drag and
drop files to and from any storage medium: disk, tape, or flash.
Oracle's Linear Tape File System, Library Edition (LTFS-LE) software supports the
SL3000 tape library, managing multiple tape drives and media. When you select a file,
the library automatically mounts the corresponding tape and the file is made available
to that application.

StorageTek Tape Analytics

Oracle's StorageTek Tape Analytics (STA) is an intelligent monitoring application
available for StorageTek Modular Tape Libraries. It simplifies tape storage
