This section describes how to perform setup so that the tape library can be used by TSM.
Define the library as the "SCSI" type.
tsm> define library <library_name> libtype=scsi |
<library_name>: Specify the library name.
In the following example, "LT270" is set as the library name.
tsm> define library LT270 libtype=scsi ANR8400I Library LT270 defined. tsm> |
Define the library path (device file).
tsm> define path <server_name> <library_name> srctype=server desttype=library device=<library_path> |
<server_name>: Specify the node name of the tape server.
<library_name>: Specify the library name.
<library_path>: Specify the robot device filename (/dev/rmt/Xlb: where X is a number).
In the following example, "tapeserver1" is set as the node name, "LT270" is set as the library name, and "/dev/rmt/5lb" is set as the device filename.
tsm> define path tapeserver1 LT270 srctype=server desttype=library device=/dev/rmt/5lb ANR1720I A path from TAPESERVER1 to LT270 has been defined. tsm> |
Define the drive.
tsm> define drive <library_name> <drive_name> element=<number> |
<library_name>: Specify the library name.
<drive_name>: Specify the drive name.
<number>: Specify the element number of the drive.
The drive element number varies in accordance with the type of tape library device. Refer to the following:
For ETERNUS LT220
Drive# [element number] |
|---|
Drive#1 [257] |
For ETERNUS LT230
Drive# [element number] | Drive# [element number] |
|---|---|
Drive#1 [257] | Drive#2 [258] |
ETERNUS LT250
Drive# [element number] | Drive# [element number] |
|---|---|
Drive#00 [500] | Drive#03 [503] |
Drive#01 [501] | Drive#04 [504] |
Drive#02 [502] | Drive#05 [505] |
For ETERNUS LT270
Drive# [element number] | Drive# [element number] |
|---|---|
Drive#00 [500] | Drive#10 [510] |
Drive#01 [501] | Drive#11 [511] |
Drive#02 [502] | Drive#12 [512] |
Drive#03 [503] | Drive#13 [513] |
Drive#04 [504] | Drive#14 [514] |
Drive#05 [505] | Drive#15 [515] |
Drive#06 [506] | Drive#16 [516] |
Drive#07 [507] | Drive#17 [517] |
Drive#08 [508] | Drive#18 [518] |
Drive#09 [509] | Drive#19 [519] |
In the following example, "LT270" is set as the library name, "DRV00" is set as the drive name, and "500" is set as the element number.
tsm> define drive LT270 DRV00 element=500 ANR8404I Drive DRV00 defined in library LT270. tsm> |
Define the drive path (device file).
tsm> define path <server_name> <drive_name> srctype=server desttype=drive library=<library_name> device=<device_path> |
<server_name>: Specify the node name of the tape server.
<drive_name>: Specify the name of the drive.
<library_name>: Specify the library name.
<device_path>: Specify the drive device filename (/dev/rmt/Xst: where X is a number)
In the following example, "tapeserver1" is set as the node name, "DRV00" is set as the drive name, "LT270" is set as the library name, and "/dev/rmt/2st" is set as the device filename.
tsm> define path tapeserver1 DRV00 srctype=server desttype=drive library=LT270 device=/dev/rmt/1st ANR1720I A path from TAPESERVER1 to LT270 DRV00 has been defined. tsm> |
