Use this command to define a path for a source to access a destination. Both the source and destination must be defined before you can define a path. For example, if a path is required between a server and a drive, you must first issue the DEFINE DRIVE command and then issue the DEFINE PATH command. A path must be defined after you issue the DEFINE DRIVE command in order to make the drive usable by Tivoli® Storage Manager software.
Syntax and parameter descriptions are available for the
following path types.
