Using DAS as a Library Interface
AMASS manages the AML through Distributed AML Server 
(DAS). DAS is an ADIC software product with both client and 
server components.
The server component is installed on the Archive 
Management Unit (AMU).
The client component is embedded in the AMASS software 
and is installed when you install AMASS.
Support for Mixed Media
AMASS supports mixed media in a network-attached AML 
using DAS. During the AMASS installation, configure each 
different media type with its own authorization string for the 
two logical libraries. For example, if your AML contains both 
DLT and 3590 media, configure AMASS with two 
authorization strings. For installation script information, refer to 
Mixed Media in Installing AMASS.
