autoconf (Auto configure devices)

Use the autoconf utility to configure devices for use with the IBM® Storage Protect server.

The autoconf utility performs the following tasks:

Loads the driver to the kernel
Creates the necessary files for the IBM Storage Protect device driver
Creates device information files for libraries and tape devices

The autoconf utility is included in the device driver package and is installed to the /opt/tivoli/tsm/devices/bin directory.

Options

-a: Adds read and write permissions to IBM Storage Protect device files to allow all users access to the devices. Specify this value to configure devices if the IBM Storage Protect server is started by a non-root user.
-g: Adds read and write permissions to the IBM Storage Protect device files to allow anyone in the same group as a root user to use the devices.
-t: Enables tracing for the autoconf utility.
-?: Displays information about the autoconf utility and its parameters.

Example: Configure devices by using the autoconf utility

Run autoconf utility to configure IBM Storage Protect devices:

> /opt/tivoli/tsm/devices/bin/autoconf

Example: For a server that is started by a non-root user ID, configure devices by using the autoconf utility

Run autoconf to configure IBM Storage Protect devices. Use the a option because the server is started by a user ID that is not the root user.

> /opt/tivoli/tsm/devices/bin/autoconf -a
