Configuring a path to the library manager

Configure a path to the library manager.

• 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 Tivoli® Storage Manager 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
