Multiple instances of Spectrum Archive Library Edition on Linux systems

How multiple instances of IBM Spectrum Archive™ Library Edition can run simultaneously on Linux systems. (Windows systems do not support multiple libraries.)

Users have the option of simultaneously running two or more Spectrum Archive Library Edition instances on Linux systems. To simultaneously run multiple instances, each Spectrum Archive Library Edition must control different logical libraries (in the same or different physical libraries).

When you mount a new tape library, specify an unused TCP/IP port number for the mount point by using the ltfs command with the -o admin_port option. For more information, see Mounting a library by using the ltfs command. To manage the library by using the ltfsadmintool command, specify the corresponding port number along with the -s option. For more information, see Managing a library by using the ltfsadmintool command.
