Configuring a path to the library manager

Configure a path to the library manager.

About this task

The procedure for configuring a path to the library manager depends on whether you are using a shared ACSLS library manager or an ACSLS-managed external library.

Procedure

If you are using a shared ACSLS library manager, configure a path to the library manager by completing the following steps from the library manager:
1. Define a library type of ACSLS.
  For example:
```
define library libmgr1 libtype=ACSLS shared=YES
```
2. Define a path from the server to the library manager.
  For example:
```
define path tsmsrver libmgr1 srctype=server desttype=library
```
3. Define a device class with a device type of LTO.
  For example:
```
define devclass device_class_name library=libmgr1
 devtype=lto servername=tsmsrvr
```
4. Define the storage pool.
  For example:
```
define stgpool pool_name device_class_name pooltype=primary
```
If you are using an ACSLS-managed external library, configure a path to the external library manager.
1. Define a library type of EXTERNAL.
  For example:
```
define library stk-lib libtype=external
```
  If a library name remains constant but the library type changes from EXTERNAL to shared ACSLS, stop and restart the storage agent to register this change.
2. Define a path from the server to the external media manager.
  For example:
```
define path tsmsrver stk-lib srctype=server desttype=library
 externalmanager=path_name
```
  In the example, the path that is provided for the external manager depends on the operating system on which IBM Storage Protect server runs.
3. Define a device class with a device type of ECARTRIDGE.
  For example:
```
define devclass device_class_name library=library_name
 devtype=ecartridge format=drive
```
4. Define the storage pool.
  For example:
```
define stgpool pool_name device_class_name pooltype=primary
```
