Table 2. Server System Configuration Information (continued)
Server System
Record the names of the client nodes on which you will install and configure the storage agent. This
information will be needed when you register the nodes, set the policy for them, and place any needed
restrictions on them. See “Client Node Information” on page 16 for further details.
Obtain Device Information
Note: If you are configuring a FILE Library, you do not need to obtain device
information. Proceed to “Step 3. Configuring Devices for the Storage Agent
to Access” on page 25.
On the system where the storage agent is installed, obtain device (tape and disk)
information. You will use the device information from the storage agent when
defining paths for the server that functions as the library manager in “Step 3.
Configuring Devices for the Storage Agent to Access” on page 25. In the z/OS
environment, you would use the information for a Sun Solaris server because the
z/OS servers cannot function as library managers.
Obtaining tape device information in a Sun Solaris environment is different
depending on whether your environment supports IBM devices or non-IBM
devices as follows:
IBM Tape Devices
After installing device drivers for your IBM tape drives, a set of special file names
available for each device. To see the special file names, use the command
ls /dev/rmt/*st
The name typically has the form:
/dev/rmt/xst
where x is a number.
Non-IBM Tape Devices
To use the Tivoli Storage Manager device drivers, you must do the following:
1. Verify that the device is connected to your system, and is powered on and
active
2. Ensure the Tivoli Storage Manager device driver package (TIVsmSdev) is
installed.
3. Edit the /usr/kernel/drv/mt.conf file. Add one stanza (as shown in the example at
the top of the file) for each SCSI target ID and LUN combination you want the
device driver to probe for supported tape drives.
4. Configure the drives by entering the following command:
