Defining paths to libraries for NDMP operations

Define a path to the SCSI library from either the IBM Storage Protect server or the NAS file server.

Procedure

  1. For a SCSI library connected to IBM Storage Protect, issue the following example command to define a path from the server, named SERVER1, to the SCSI library named TSMLIB:

    AIX operating systems
     define path server1 tsmlib srctype=server desttype=library
    	 device=/dev/lb1
    Linux operating systems
    define path server1 tsmlib srctype=server desttype=library
    	 device=/dev/tsmscsi/lb1
    Windows operating systems
     define path server1 tsmlib srctype=server desttype=library
     	device=lb0.0.0.2
  2. For a SCSI library connected to a NAS file server, issue the following example command to define a path between a NetApp NAS data mover that is named NASNODE1 and a library named NASLIB:
    define path nasnode1 naslib srctype=datamover desttype=library device=mc0
  3. For a 349X library, define a path to the library from the IBM Storage Protect server. For example, issue the following command to define a path from the server, named SERVER1, to the 349X library named TSMLIB:

    AIX operating systems
     define path server1 tsmlib srctype=server desttype=library
    	 device=/dev/lmcp0
    Windows operating systemsLinux operating systems
    define path server1 tsmlib srctype=server desttype=library
     device=library1
    Tip: The DEFINE PATH command is not required for an automated cartridge system library software (ACSLS) library.
