Testing the complete setup

Now it is possible to verify the complete installation by issuing commands from the mtlib command-line interface. The simplest test is the communication between the IBM® device driver atldd and the TSLM 3494 Emulation:

$ mtlib -l /dev/lmcp2 -A
Library Address Information:
 library name...........polo
 host identification....arthur
 primary address........9.68.92.226
 primary status.........Online
 alternate address......Not configured

The primary status Online indicates that the communication is working.

With the communication working, the tape drives and cartridges assigned to the TSLM 3494 Emulation are also visible from mtlib:

$ mtlib -l /dev/lmcp2 -D -E
 Type   Mod  Serial #   Devnum   Cuid  Device  VTS Library
003592  J1A  78-08195  00081950    1      0
003592  J1A  78-19352  00193520    2      0

$ mtlib -l /dev/lmcp2 -qI
A00062 012C 00 20 00
J1M439 012C 00 20 00
JCA800 012C 00 20 00

The final test is a cartridge mount using the TSLM 3494 Emulation. With the complete setup up, and running, this works like a cartridge mount in an IBM 3494 Tape Library:

$ mtlib -l /dev/lmcp2 -m -x00081950 -VA00062
 

$ mtlib -l /dev/lmcp2 -qD -x00081950
