Defining storage agents to the IBM Storage Protect server

For each client that uses storage agent data transfer, define a storage agent to the server.

1. Define the storage agent by issuing the DEFINE SERVER command from the IBM Storage Protect server that manages the client's data.
   For example:

   define server storagnt serverpassword=fun4me
   hladdress=agent.tucson.ibm.com lladdress=1500 validateprotocol=all

   The VALIDATEPROTOCOL parameter in the example is optional. This parameter specifies whether a cyclic redundancy check is run to validate data on all metadata that is transferred between the storage agent and the IBM Storage Protect server.
2. Verify that the storage agent is defined to the library manager by issuing the following command from the library-manager server:

   query server server_name format=detailed

   Important: If the library-manager server is different from the library-client server that hosts the storage agent, define the storage agent as a server on both the library-manager server and the library-client server. The storage agent must be able to contact the library manager directly when it makes mount requests. If the storage agent is only defined to the library client, it attempts to use information from the library client to define itself to the library manager.
