NAME

nsrlcpd - NetWorker library control program daemon  

SYNOPSIS

nsrlcpd -s server mmgd_daemon_num -n lcpd_daemon_num

 

DESCRIPTION

The nsrlcpd daemon provides a uniform library interface to the NetWorker media management daemon, nsrmmgd. The nsrlcpd implements class specific protocols to communicate to the NetWorker supported library classes which include:
o
SCSI medium changers connected through SCSI cables, fibre-channel SANs or NDMP Services.
o
Microsoft Removable Storage Subsystems.
o
Standard Tape Libraries (STL), sometimes refered to as "SILO" Subsystems.
o
AlphaStor Media Management Subsystems.

The nsrlcpd manages the library subsystem media, slot, drive and port resources providing control to move and access the resources within the library subsystems.

The NetWorker media management service starts one nsrlcpd daemon for each virtual jukebox instance defined in the NetWorker server's configuration resource database. Each nsrlcpd daemon will be started on the NetWorker Storage Node which has access to the library subsystem interface. Once the nsrlcpd daemon is started, it provides the ability to:

o
Accept configuration information to access and control the library.
o
Report library components and characteristics as controllable resources.
o
Report accessible media within the library.
o
Allocate and deallocate media for use by the NetWorker application.
o
Load and unload media into read and writable devices.
o
Deposit and withdraw media into the library systems.

The nsrlcpd daemon provides an RPC-based library control program service across network boundaries. The RPC program number for nsrlcpd is 390429. To support multiple instances, the RPC version number used by the nsrlcpd during the RPC service registration is calculated by multiplying 100 by the nsrlcpd daemon number and adding 1, which is the base version. For example, a nsrlcpd process started with the command, "nsrlcpd -s NetWorkerServer -N 1 -n 2" would register with the program number 390429 and the version number 201.
