Repeat this step for lpath 10/4/4.1, 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4. e. To configure the Storage Node on the NetWorker server, verify the ldev specifications: io> Idev 30/34 LDEV: 30 DEVNAME: OUTDEV: 0 MODE: ID: HPA4669A RSIZE: 128 DEVTYPE: MOSAR_AC PATH: 10/4/4.0.0 MPETYPE: 24 MPESUBTYPE: 4 CLASS: LDEV: 31 DEVNAME: OUTDEV: 0 MODE: ID: DLT8000 RSIZE: 128 DEVTYPE: TAPE PATH: 10/4/4.1.0 MPETYPE: 24 MPESUBTYPE: 8 CLASS: TAPE ...

Hold the configuration changes: io> hold b. Exit the io section: io> exit c. If you have followed the local convention for backing up the configuration file, keep the changes: sysgen> keep keeping to group CONFIG.SYS Purge old configuration (yes/no)?y CAUTION Check with the system administrator to ensure you can keep the changes to the configuration file. 14 Configuring the Host System
