HP StoreOpen
Automation (Linear Tape
File System/LTFS)
HP LTFS makes tape self-describing, file-based, and easy-to-use, it also provides users with the ability to
use standard file operations on tape media for accessing, managing and sharing files with an interface that
behaves just like a hard disk. In addition, LTFS provides the ability to share data across platforms, as you
would with a USB drive or memory stick. Simply load a tape into the drive, mount it into the file system,
and it becomes visible as a disk.

HP StoreOpen Automation is a free downloadable application that extends the LTFS capability to HP
Autoloaders, HP MSL and ESL Tape Libraries. By simply mounting the tape autoloader or library as a file
system, the intuitive HP StoreOpen Automation interface makes it easier to copy, rename, create or move
files. When a cartridge folder is selected for use, that tape is automatically moved to an available tape
drive.
When two drives are present, HP StoreOpen Automation supports tape-to-tape operations. HP StoreOpen
Automation takes advantage of other standard HP Tape Library features including data encryption and HP
TapeAssure.

HP ESL G3 Secure Manager
License
HP ESL G3 Secure Manager License is an optional software feature that provides an additional level of
security that lets you control access to the tape library by authorizing specific servers to access the
library's drives and robotics. Secure Manager increases backup reliability by blocking disruptive traffic
from unauthorized hosts to the library, which is one of the main causes of failed or incomplete backups.
Easily configure device-level security settings
Allow only authorized servers to access tape drives and critical data
Manage access control from a single pane of glass, through the library itself
Paths to robotics can be separated between two independent SANs for isolation purposes
Secure Manager allows you to:
create host access groups
add and modify host information
map devices to access
allows a disable feature when switch zoning is desired
