Linux 3494 Enterprise Tape Library Driver Adding or Deleting Entries in the Library Device You can add or delete entries in /etc/ibmatl.conf at any time. However, changes do not take effect until the daemon is started again. Use the UNIX kill command (kill -kill ) to kill the lmcpd process, and enter the /etc/lmcpd command to start the daemon again. Ensure that activity on all libraries is completed before restarting the lmcpd. Updating Procedure If your current ibmatl was installed from an rpm package previously, issue the following command: rpm -Uvv ibmatl.x.x.x.x.s390.rpm rpm -Uvv ibmatl.x.x.x.x.i386.rpm --for IBM Linux on S/390 systems --for Red Hat Intel PC based systems Querying the Installed Package The query function is supported for the ibmatl rpm package only. The installed rpm package can be queried by running the following commands to display information associated with the package. To display information about ibmatl: >rpm -qi ibmatl To display the package's file list, enter the command: > rpm -ql ibmatl To display the states of files in the package, for example, normal, not installed, or replaced: >rpm -qs ibmatl Verifying the Install/Update If the IBMtape device driver is installed from the rpm package, issue the following command: >rpm -V ibmatl Starting ibmatl Start the daemon using the following command: /etc/lmcpd Uninstall Procedure Attention: Do not try to uninstall the ibmatl software simply by removing the files that make up the ibmatl fileset. It is best to use the rpm -e command or the uninstall script. Note: Halt all library activity before starting the uninstall procedure. For the rpm package, run the command rpm -e: rpm -evv ibmatl 232 IBM Tape Device Drivers Installation and User's Guide
