ROBAR-SV has in ongoing operation the task of receiving mount jobs from the BS2000 systems in the form of messages, evaluating these and passing them in the form of control statements to the archive system.
In addition, the ROBAR-SV Manager and the robar menu program on the ROBAR server are largely user interfaces with identical functions for the ROBAR administrators and ROBAR operators. They enable you, for example, to start, monitor and terminate the ROBAR-SV instances.
The robar menu program contains a few, more in-depth functions which are not mapped in the ROBAR-SV Manager. For these functions the ROBAR-SV Manager consequently also incorporates a call for the robar menu program.
The robar menu program can also be called separately in a Linux shell on the ROBAR server. It also offers the complete functional scope, but is not so userfriendly as the ROBAR-SV Manager.
This chapter describes how you operate ROBAR-SV using the ROBAR-SV Manager and the robar menu program.
