Linux 3494 Enterprise Tape Library Driver To obtain the most current service and documentation for this software, refer to Appendix A, "Accessing Documentation and Software Online," on page 341. Installation and Configuration Instructions The IBM Tape Library driver for Linux, (ibmatl), is supplied in an rpm package. The following sections describe installation, removal, configuration, and verification procedures for ibmatl. Refer to any Linux distribution supporting rpm for rpm command information. You must have root authority to proceed with the installation of the driver. In the subsequent pages, you will see file names with xxxx or x.x.x.x in them. The xxxx or x.x.x.x refer to the version of the driver, which will change as IBM releases new driver levels. Use the actual driver version numbers as you perform the procedures. Install and configure the LAN support before proceeding with installation of the ibmatl package. For more information, refer to the Linux documentation appropriate to the LAN support you are using. The following files are installed on your system: /etc/lmcpd (library manager control point daemon) /etc/ibmatl.conf (configuration file) /usr/lib/libibm.o (application interface object module) /usr/lib/libibm64.o (64-bit application interface object module for 64-bit IBM zSeries system only) /usr/include/sys/mtlibio.h (application interface header file) /usr/bin/mtlib (tape library driver utility program) /usr/bin/mtlib64 (64-bit tape library driver utility program for 64-bit IBM zSeries system only) /usr/bin/mtevent (tape library driver utility program) /usr/bin/trcatl (tape library driver diagnostic program) On the IBM Linux for IBM S/390 and zSeries systems, documentation files are installed at: /usr/share/doc/packages/ibmatl/README (readme file) /usr/share/doc/packages/ibmatl/license (license file) On Red Hat Linux for Intel™ PC based systems, documentation files are installed at: /usr/share/doc/ibmatl-x.x.x.x/README (readme file, where x.x.x.x is the version) /usr/share/doc/ibmatl-x.x.x.x/license (license file, where .x.x.x.x is the version) Note: If this is an update of the ibmatl package, the existing /etc/ibmatl.conf file is preserved (it is not overwritten). Installation Procedure If ibmatl is already installed on your system, refer to "Updating Procedure" on page 232. This section assumes that you are installing ibmatl on a system where it is not installed. Run the following command to install ibmatl rpm package: >rpm -ivv ibmatl.x.x.x.x.os.rpm Connecting the TotalStorage Enterprise 3494 Tape Library Use a LAN connection (either Ethernet or Token Ring) through TCP/IP. The connection must be in place before the software is installed to ensure proper initialization of the daemon.
