Abstract
Techniques for asynchronous management of physical components are disclosed. A request to perform an operation in a tape library, including a physical task to be performed by a component, is received. Based on the request, a message handler is initialized. The message handler executes in an execution thread. State data associated with the component is retrieved from persistent storage. Using the state data, a code object representing the component is instantiated. Using the message handler and the code object, instructions are transmitted to the component to perform the physical task. A process, executing in a different execution thread, receives a message from the component indicating completion of the physical task. Based on the message, another message handler is initialized that updates persistent storage associated with the component.
