Linux 3494 Enterprise Tape Library Driver TCP/IP, ensure that your machine has access to the Library Manager on the 3494 Tape Library. Use the ping utility to verify that you have network connectivity to the Library Manager. Consult your network administrator if you need help with this task. Defining the Library Device to the lmcpd After the software is installed and tape libraries are connected, the /etc/ibmatl.conf file must be edited to define the library devices to the lmcpd. The format of the file is: Symbolic name Connection type Identifier Alternate LAN Connection Symbolic name is used to identify each tape library. The symbolic names must be unique across all libraries defined in the ibmatl.conf file. Connection type is used to define the type of connection to the library. For TCP/IP connections, this type is the IP address of the 3494 Library Manager. If the Library has a dual LAN card installed, the second IP address of the dual LAN card should be entered after the first IP address. Identifier parameter is used to specify a name by which the Library Manager identifies the host machine. This identifier has a maximum length of 8 characters. The symbolic network name of the host is usually the best name to use, although any name is acceptable. This parameter is used only to identify a particular host to the 3494 Library Manager. Alternate LAN Connection is used to specify an alternate IP address for a 3494 High Availability LAN configuration. If the High Availability Library has a dual LAN card installed, the second IP address of the dual LAN card should be entered after the first alternate LAN connection IP address. The following examples show how to define the library name: 3494a 9.115.32.21 jupiter This stanza defines the 3494a library that is connected to the host. The address of the 3494 Library Manager is 9.115.32.21. The tape library uses jupiter as the identifier for the host. libmgrc9 9.115.46.15 telos 9.115.46.17 This stanza defines the libmgrc9 High Availability library that is connected through TCP/IP to the workstation. The IP addresses of the dual Library Managers are 9.115.46.15 and 9.115.46.17. libmgrc7 9.115.32.21 9.115.32.22 mercury This stanza defines libmgrc7 with a dual LAN card connected through TCP/IP to the workstation. The first address of the Library Manager on the 3494 Tape Library is 9.115.32.21 and the second address is 9.115.32.22. The library uses the mercury identifier for the host. libmgrc7 9.115.32.21 9.115.32.22 mercury 9.115.26.13 9.115.26.14 This stanza defines the libmgrc7 High Availability library with dual LAN cards connected through TCP/IP to the workstation. The IP addresses of the first Library Manager are 9.115.32.21 and 9.115.32.22. The IP addresses of the second Library Manager are 9.115.26.13 and 9.115.26.14. The library uses the mercury identifier for the host. Chapter 9. 3494 Enterprise Tape Library Support 231
