Chapter 3. Installing and Configuring Tape-Library and<br />
File-Device Sharing Environments<br />
|<br />
|<br />
|<br />
|<br />
|<br />
|<br />
This chapter describes installing and configuring the storage agent LAN-free<br />
function in environments that are using one or more of the following:<br />
v A shared ACSLS, SCSI, or 349X tape library. The storage agent can connect to<br />
either the library manager or a library client.<br />
v File device sharing using Tivoli SANergy or IBM TotalStorage SAN File System.<br />
For current information about supported file-sharing software, see<br />
www.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/<br />
support/IBMTivoliStorageManager.html.<br />
For high-level descriptions of these environments, see Chapter 1, “Storage Agent<br />
Overview,” on page 1 and “Types of Environments” on page 5. Before installing<br />
and configuring the storage agent, make sure you read Chapter 2, “Planning,” on<br />
page 5 and fill out the information forms in “Configuration Information<br />
Worksheets” on page 13.<br />
To install and configure the storage agent for LAN-free data movement:<br />
1. Read the overview of the procedure. Make sure you understand the overall<br />
process before beginning the procedure because the process takes place on<br />
multiple machines at different times.<br />
2. Review the complete procedure which follows the summary.<br />
3. Complete the steps described in the procedure.<br />
You can use the Enable LAN-free Data Movement wizard in the Administration<br />
Center interface to set up LAN-free data movement on the server. If you use the<br />
wizard, you only need to perform the following steps in this procedure:<br />
v “Install or Upgrade the Client and API Software” on page 19: Step 1 through<br />
Step 5<br />
v “Install and Configure the Storage Agent” on page 21: Step 7 and Step 8<br />
v “Step 4. (z/OS only) Formatting Volumes for LAN-free Data Movement” on<br />
page 27<br />
v “Step 5. Starting the Storage Agent and Verifying the LAN-free Configuration”<br />
on page 27: All steps<br />
If you have not used the Enterprise Management LAN-free Wizard to set up<br />
LAN-free data movement on the Tivoli Storage Manager server, perform all steps<br />
in this procedure.<br />
Overview of Installation and Configuration Tasks<br />
The following overview outlines the installation and configuration tasks provided<br />
in this chapter:<br />
v Step 1: Verifying network configuration<br />
Note: Ensure that your system meets the prerequisites for the SAN<br />
configuration.<br />
v Step 2: Establishing communications among client, storage agent, and Tivoli<br />
Storage Manager server<br />
