Configuring DR Series system VTL for Windows and Linux TSM

servers

Note:

Refer to the following instructions for viewing the tape devices and IDs, which you will need to

configure the DR Series system VTL.

For Windows:

To see the Tape Library device IDs, use the command “tsmdlst.” For example:

cd C:\program files\Tivoli\TSM\Server\Tsmdiag

.\tsmdlst.exe

For Linux:

For discovering the tape devices and their IDs, refer to Appendix C later in this document.

3.2.1

Configuring the DR Series system VTL for Windows

3.2.1.1

Define library

# define library TSM-iscsi libtype=scsi shared=yes autolabel=yes

(TSM-iscsi is user defined name for the library)

3.2.1.2

Define library path

# define path WIN-8B1A4SA50SR TSM-iscsi srct=server autodetect=yes destt=library

device=lb0.1.0.3

Where:

•

WIN-8B1A4SA50SR = TSM server hostname

•

Device = Device ID for medium changer listed by “tsmdlst” command.

3.2.1.3

Define drive

# define drive TSM-iscsi drive01 online=yes

Where:

•

TSM-iscsi = Library name defined in earlier command

•

Drive01 = User defined drive name

3.2.1.4

Define drive path

# define path WIN-8B1A4SA50SR drive01 srct=server destt=drive library=TSM-iscsi

device=mt0.2.0.3 online=yes

3.2.1.5

Audit the library

# audit library TSM-iscsi checklabel=barcode
