With the 3494, if purchased and installed with RS232 host communication
method, you will need an MES to upgrade to TCP/IP communication method.
Need to make sure you have the drivers for the tape drives & library...
see ftp site index.storsys.ibm.com in the /devdrvr directory or somewhere
down from there...
looking for atape___& atldd____
use
lslpp -l Atape.driver
and
lslpp -l atldd.driver
to see if already installed (and at what level)
if not happy with current situation, install new poop...
make sure all new hardware is connected
edit /etc/ibmatl.conf to insert new library definition record
run cfgmgr to find new tape drives
use smitty, devices, tape drive, add a tape drive,
atl library LAN/TTY Library Management Control Point
to create a new lmcp
use
Configure a Defined Tape Drive
to make it available
I take it you have unique tape drives for each system !
make sure you use different scratch & private categories across
different tsm servers
Oh, and Geoff... what is that SAIC charge code I need to use ;-)

Subject: 3494 sharing
A little info before I ask my question.
Current setup:
TSM Server is RS6000 AIX4.3.3 running TSM 4.1.2
Library is 3494 connected serial to the H50.
New TSM Server is RS6000 AIX4.3.3 running TSM 4.1.2
Library will be connected serial to the M80.
The question is on how to use the library with 2 servers, one Production and
one for testing. The M80 is going to be connected to the library serial,
unless someone knows a reason not to, it will be moving to production. I am
not familiar with how the 3494 is built so I can't tell you if I can connect
through a LAN. If it's standard in the delivery to have it, then you can
count on it being there. Unfortunately it's connected serial to the H50
right now.
IBM will be here tomorrow to connect the new library section and hopefully
to the M80 too. I know a definition is made at the console to tell the
library of the server but beyond that I know nothing. I know that some of
you have done this recently and I could fumble through the messages to
locate bits and pieces, but I'd rather not. I'd like to see if anyone has a
document they can send to me that explains a step by step process/setup to
enable the sharing of the library to 2 TSM servers, and any configuration I
may need to make at the RS6000. Like the document I gave to a lot of people
on my upgrade process from ADSM V3 to V4...... I've searched IBM on library
sharing but.....you didn't think I'd find anything like this there do you?
Yes I'm looking for a handout.....
Thanks, for the help.
