    Hello,

    I found very few issues and details for setting up networker and ACSLS in
    google, etc. and I hope that the question is appropriate for this list.

    We have a License for SunStorEdge EnterpriseBackup 7.2 aka Legato Networker
    for Solaris with the options Turbopak and Autochanger/16 slots. We had
    before a 7 DLT Autochanger Stacker (with Solstice Backup 5.1) and now we
    want to setup Networker with Storagetek Libraries, which are controlled by
    an ACSLS server.

    I have tried SUN Solstice Backup 7.2 + patch 116832-02 and also Networker
    7.2.1 from the legato.com Webpage and installed all provided packages
    (Client, Storage Node, Storage Server, etc), but a jbconfig fails with
    "unable to connect to ACSLS server acsls".

    - The Networker licenses are okay and valid. Probably the 16 slots license
    will not be sufficiant for a big >600 slot SILO, but I thought that
    Networker could at least recognise the Library.

    - This happens also with the evaluation license.

    - I can ping the ACSLS Server.

    - The ACSLS Server is Version 7.0 and is also in use with SUN SAMFS.

    - There are currently no library drives connected to the Server. Only one
    local DLT700 is available.

    What could I do to to make Networker connect to ACSLS?

    * Do I need to reconfigure the ACSLS Server?

    * Do I need some other Legato License to make it work with ACSLS?

    * Bonus Question: Is it possible to use Legato Networker and SAMFS with
    ACSLS at the same time (but of course with different tape pools)? :-)

    If the tape drives are connected to some other Server, I guess I will need
    some Storage Node License too...

    There appears to be something incorrect about your jukebox
    installation. Please consult your device's documentation
    to help you troubleshoot your installation.
    jbconfig: error, stl_open failed - unable to connect to ACSLS server acsls (stl_open error 2)

    Thanks,
