CA TLMS lets you manage tapes created by selected backup products on distributed platforms. This support is provided through integration with free downloadable components known as iGateways and iSponsors. iGateways and iSponsors were developed by CA to allow a wide variety of distributed systems products to provide data to the BrightStor Portal product. CA TLMS uses the iSponsor/iGateway technology to extract media information from the product catalogs of the following products:
Tapes created by these products can be tracked in the CA TLMS Volume Master File (VMF). The volume information in the VMF is a copy of the tape volume information extracted from the backup product database. No update to the backup product database is performed.
The Distributed Tape Support feature is managed by the DTS subtask of CTS. The DTS subtask is configured to communicate a list of servers defined in the CTSDTS00 control statement file. Communication with the iSponsor for the targeted backup product can be done using a START command or can be scheduled by defining schedules through the SCHD subtask of CTS. For more information about this feature, see DTS and SCHD subtasks in Common Tape System.
