System Description
The Scalar DLC software runs as a service under Windows 2000 / 2003. It serves as a centralized library
management tool that simplifies and automates the tracking and management of all system resources for
optimal performance and maximum availability. The Scalar DLC software provides network and Systems
Administrators with a Java-based interface that allows library monitoring from anywhere on the Web.
Note
It also allows administrators to select parameters that define which library events provide notifications to
customers and ADIC Technical Assistance Center (ATAC) via email and Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) alerts.
The main working tool of the Scalar DLC software is the Management GUI. All the actions of management
and configuration are executed via this tool. Refer to the Scalar DLC Reference Guide for the details.

host (server) via the client interface; several interfaces are used (SCSI/FC, DAS, and ROBAR).
Depending on the request, the Scalar DLC either should search the information in the database and send
the response back to the client, or transfer the command to the library via the library interface.
After the library has executed the requested operation, the response is sent back to the Scalar DLC
indicating that the operation was executed.
The Scalar DLC server updates the database according to the information received from the library and
transfers the response (operation executed) back to the client.
The Management GUI serves as the configuration tool to create a working configuration for clients, and also
as the monitoring tool for the Administrator when it is necessary to watch the system activity.
The details for using Management GUI and other tools of the Scalar DLC software are described in the
Scalar DLC Reference Guide.

Solutions
According to the customer requirements, the Scalar DLC introduce a basic (standard) solution or a failover
(redundant, cluster) solution. The latter can be provided in plain version and in self-domain version, also
called the self-domain solution. See S
Domain Solution on page 6.
Depending on the library used by the customer, the solution and system configuration should be selected,
as shown in Table 2

Standard Solution
The Scalar DLC standard (basic) solution keeps all Scalar DLC components (server, database) on a single
host / PC that is connected to both the library and client(s). The client can work with the library when the
Scalar DLC software is started and the library is online.
The Scalar DLC standard solution requires a single PC, the library, and the interface cables to provide the
connection between PC (Scalar DLC host) and library. Additional cabling may be required to provide the
client connections (SCSI/FC) and using SNC.
For the requirements and installation instructions see Setting Up the Standard Solution
on page 7.
Failover Solution
The Scalar DLC Failover (redundant, cluster) solution is provided for the clients using the Microsoft Cluster
service. This solution allows the user to have a shared disk with the Scalar DLC database and two hosts
containing the installed components of Scalar DLC software; for the redundancy reasons, one host is online
and the other is offline. If an error occurs and the online Scalar DLC host turns offline, the other host is
immediately online, so the user may not even notice there has been a problem with the host, and the
customer engineer can work under the problem host without stopping the work of Scalar DLC software.
The Scalar DLC failover solution requires two identical PCs, a RAID system, the library, and the interface
cables to provide the connections between PCs (Scalar DLC hosts), RAID (shared database), and library.
Additional cabling may be required to provide the client connections (SCSI/FC) and using SNC.
For the requirements and installation instructions see Setting Up the
Installation Guide 5
Failover Solution on page 13.
Page 12
Self-Domain Solution
Up from version 2.5, Scalar DLC offers also so-called self-domain solution. This configuration of the Scalar
DLC acts the same way as plain Failover solution and has the same hardware requirements, however it is
installed without an external domain controller, so its setup does not exactly duplicate the failover solution
instructions.
In terms of the network security, the self-domain solution is the most reliable method that Scalar DLC
currently can provide.
For the details see Setting Up the Self-Domain Solution
on page 33.

Installing the Scalar DLC
The Scalar DLC software must be installed on a PC running Windows 2000 / 2003. The Management GUI
is installed as a part of the Scalar DLC software. After the software is installed, a remote user can connect
to the Scalar DLC host.
Note
During the installation process, all required components are installed. System restart may be necessary
after the installation of certain components. The system will warn the user that the restart is required, and
the installation process will continue until all files have been installed.
•Before
• Using the Scalar DLC setup engine install the required S
•After
To install the Scalar DLC software and all required components, local administrator
rights are required.
The cluster solutions (both failover and self-domain) require the domain user with either
local or domain administrator rights.

The following components must be installed and configured for the proper performance of the Scalar DLC
software service:
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 (only for Windows 2000)
• Microsoft Internet Explorer ver. 6.0 or newer (only for Windows 2000)
•Java
• Apache Web Server ver.1.3.27
• Secure Socket layer (SSL), optional
• Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000)
• MSDE 2000 Service Pack 4
2 Runtime Environment (Java 2) 1.4.2_09
Silent Mode
When a customer selects silent mode, all information that is required for the selected installation must be
entered before the install process starts.
The install process continues until everything is complete, including automatically restarting the computer
and logging on.
Note that the complete installation of both the required components and Scalar DLC software will take some
time (circa 15-30 minutes).
Note
46 Installing the Scalar DLC
ADIC does not recommend using silent mode when installing Scalar DLC failover / selfdomain solution.
Page 53
Windows Service Pack
The SP4 for Windows 2000 operating system must be used with the Scalar DLC software. After the service
pack is installed, a restart is required. Then the system will configure the installed tools and services.
Note
ADIC supports the Win2000 SP4 developed by the Microsoft. This service pack can be
used with all versions of Windows 2000 (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, etc.).
The SP1 for Windows 2003 is required for the Scalar DLC but not included onto the
Scalar DLC Install CD. It must be installed with WIndows 2003.
Microsoft Internet Explorer
The Scalar DLC software is compatible with the MS IE browser 6.0 or newer version. ADIC offers the MS
IE 6.0 installation kit. After the MS IE is installed, a restart is required. After rebooting, the system continues
to configure the installed Internet Explorer tools and services.
Note
The installation of MS IE 6.0 under Windows 2003 is not required.
Java 2 Runtime Environment
The Java2 component installs over an existing Java runtime environment without producing a warning
message. By default, the Java2 is installed in the
<%SystemDrive%>\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_09\ directory. An advanced user can install
the Java2 to any directory desired, but ADIC recommends against this action.
Note
The Java2 installation may ask for a restart. ADIC recommends rebooting the PC.
Remove
Removing Java is performed via standard Windows Add/Remove Programs engine. A restart may be
required afterwards.
Note
It is recommended also to check <%SystemDrive%>\Program Files\ afterwards. If
Java folder is not removed, remove it manually.
Apache HTTP Server
ADIC does not recommend installing the Scalar DLC software on a machine with a previously installed copy
of Apache Server. During installation, the configuration file overwrites any configuration file present on the
hard drive without providing a warning. By default, the Apache HTTP Server is installed in the
<%SystemDrive%>\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\ directory. An advanced user can install
the Apache HTTP Server in any desired directory.
If the default Apache directory exists, the installation provides a warning message.
Installation Guide 47
Page 54
Figure 15 Warning: Apache
Secure Socket Layer
The Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol encrypt the data that has been sent/received via the web. The SSL
family of protocols includes also Transport Layer Security (TLS).
The SSL is built into all major browsers (Internet Explorer, Netscape), so implementing the SSL component
into the Scalar DLC activates this feature when a customer launches the Scalar DLC Management GUI as
the browser applet. Also the SSL encryption feature is activated when a customer launches the Java-based
application Scalar DLC Manager which represents the same Management GUI. The details on
Management GUI are described in the Scalar DLC Reference Guide, Configuration chapter.
The following are characteristics of SSL/TLS:
• Generic enough to be incorporated into many applications
• Provides security between the transport (TCP protocol) and upper application layer protocol such
as HTTP, FTP, or TELNET.
• Supports encryption, authentication, and key exchange
• Encrypts data so that anyone who intercepts is unable to read it.
• Assures clients that they are dealing with the server they intend to connect to.
• Prevents any unauthorized clients from connecting to the server.
• Prevents anyone from meddling with data going to or coming from the server.
• Three protocol capabilities: authentication, encryption, and key exchange
Remove
Removing Apache is performed via standard Windows Add/Remove Programs engine. It is recommended
to Stop the Apache service before (Start > Programs > Apache HTTP Server > Control Apache Server
> Stop) and then remove the Apache itself.
Note
48 Installing the Scalar DLC
It is recommended also to check <%SystemDrive%>\Program Files\ afterwards. If
Apache folder is not removed, remove it manually.

Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine 2000
If the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is installed already, it is not required to install the MSDE 2000. If there is
either MSDE 7.0, or MS SQL Server 7.0 installed on the PC, the installation upgrades it for the MS SQL
system service remains workable.
By default, the MSDE 2000 is installed in the
<%SystemDrive%>\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\ directory. An advanced user can
install the MSDE 2000 in any desired directory. After the MSDE 2000 installation is completed, re-start the
system if required.
If the Scalar DLC should be installed as a Failover solution, the MS SQL 2000 should be installed on a
shared disk (RAID - R:) to the ‘specified’ folder that must be shared, too.
Figure 16 MSDE 2000 Installation
MSDE 2000 Service Pack 4
The SP4 for MSDE 2000 was designed to fix bugs and security holes found in the basic version of the
software (MSDE 2000). Because the Scalar DLC uses the SQL database to store all system information this
service pack is required for the correct performance of the Scalar DLC software.
Note
CAUTION
Remove
Removing MSDE with the service pack is performed via standard Windows Add/Remove Programs engine.
The MSDE SP4 separately cannot be removed. Restart is not required.
Installation Guide 49
If there is no MSDE 2000 but complete MS SQL 2000 installed, do not install this service
pack. Go to the http://www.microsoft.com

Figure 30 Install SCSI Target Driver
When the SCSI Client component is selected for installation in either the Complete or Custom Setup, the
installation process requests to install the SCSI and Fibre Channel Target driver. If this option is accepted,
the SCSI Target Mode Driver installation proceeds after the Scalar DLC software is installed successfully.
Otherwise the Scalar DLC software installation proceeds but the SCSI Target software features remain not
operable if no SCSI Target driver is present in the system (for example, from a previous installation).
Note
This request is shown every time the Scalar DLC SCSI Client component is selected for the installation.
ADIC recommends accepting the option and installing the drivers. If the drivers are installed already, decline
this option. The drivers may be installed later manually as well.
For the details on SCSI Target Mode Driver installation and configuration process, see Inst
FC Target Drivers on page 74.
After the Scalar DLC components are installed, enter the registration information. See Figure 31
The SCSI/Fibre Channel Target drivers are needed to operate additional hardware (the

The DAS Client software allows the customer to use DAS interface with the Scalar DLC.
Installing DAS Client
The DAS Client software will be completely functional after the following configuration steps.
Step 1 Install the Scalar DLC software with the DAS support on the server PC. See S
Software on page 50. The server PC requires a restart.
Step 2 Start the Management GUI. Create the library configuration that the client requires. Create the
required mailboxes and clean/scratch pools. Create a DAS client and assign it to the created
library. Refer to the Scalar DLC Reference Guide, Configuration chapter.
Step 3 Install the client application on the client PC.

Variable Explanation
DAS_SERVER Network names (TCP/IP) of the server which are accessed by the dasadmin
program. Both names are entered separated by a comma, only when installing
dual DAS. The names must be resolvable on the computer into TCP/IP
addresses.
For the firewall connection, the DAS/ACI Firewall PC name is used here.
DAS_PORT A port being used to send DAS commands (for the firewall connection only).
DAS_CLIENT Name of the client under which the DAS PC is to access the server. The name
must be defined in the Scalar DLC database.
ACI_MEDIA_TYPE Default media type selected when using dasadmin if the parameter -t is omitted
from the command. See DAS Administration Guide for the details.

SCSI/FC Target Drivers
The Scalar DLC software uses some SCSI and/or Fibre Channel adapters in Target mode to provide the
customer access to the Scalar DLC via the SCSI.
SCSI and Fibre Channel Hardware
The SCSI and/or Fibre Channel adapters must be installed into the PCI-type slots as shown in Table 18 on
page 72.
CAUTION
Before connecting SCSI Initiator (Scalar DLC / client host) and Target (Medium changer / Scalar DLC host)
adapters with the SCSI cable, be sure that they match each other. See Table 16

The Local SCSI Target driver (powered by ADIC) is added for emulation the SCSI Target
features on a PC without appropriate SCSI adapter. In the Management GUI, under the
SCSI Target tab, the Local SCSI Target port appears, so the Target objects can be
created and assigned to the SCSI Clients.
However, this port is not reflected in the SCSI Target Port Tool because this utility shows
only adapters that could operate either as Initiators or as Targets. Local SCSI Target
only emulates the adapter port and sure cannot operate in Initiator mode.

Two-channel Adapters
Some adapters are designed as two-channel model so they are recognized by OS as two single-channel
adapters. Device Manager shows two adapters, their Properties are, for example, PCI slot 2, Bus 1,
Function 0 and PCI slot 2, Bus 1, Function 1 (note that the only difference is Function value).
For the Scalar DLC it means that it is technically possible to use single two-channel SCSI/FC adapter in
both Initiator mode (Channel A / Port 1 - Function 0) to connect to the library medium changer, and in Target
mode (Channel B / Port 2 - Function 1) to connect to the SCSI Client host (see Figure 39
of course, such two-channel adapters can be used for two different SCSI Clients, as if these clients were
connected to the two different SCSI/FC target adapters, or as two single-channel initiator adapters if
required.

Plain upgrading the Scalar DLC from 2000 to 2003 platform is not supported, so if the customer wants to
perform such operation, the setup order should be following:
Step 1 Backup the database to RAID disk, network resource or floppy (see Back up Scalar DLC
Database).
Step 2 Install the Scalar DLC 2.6 from scratch on Windows 2003 platform (see Setting Up the Scalar
DLC on page 7). Note that RAID needs no initialization in this case.
