Solaris 3494 Enterprise Tape Library Driver If a previous version is installed on the system, uninstall the previous version first, enter the following command: /usr/sbin/pkgrm lmcpd To install the package from the directory that the driver is located, enter the following command: /usr/sbin/pkgadd -d lmcpd.x.x.x.x To verify that the installation was successful, enter the following command: /usr/bin/pkginfo lmcpd Connecting the 3494 Enterprise Tape Library Use one of the following methods to connect the workstation to the 3494 Tape Library: v Use a standard 25 pin null modem D-shell RS-232 cable. Place the cable on the native serial port or on the eight-port or 16 port asynchronous adapter. v Use a LAN connection (either Ethernet or Token-Ring) through TCP/IP. In either case, the connection must be in place before the software is installed to ensure proper initialization of the daemon. For each 3494 Tape Library connected with an RS-232 cable, follow the directions in "Configuring the Serial Port" on page 237. For each 3494 Tape Library connected through TCP/IP, ensure that your machine has access to the Library Manager on the Enterprise device. 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. Identify the hostname of your workstation to the Enterprise Library Manager by following the instructions in the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Automated Tape Library Operator Guide, in the Add LAN Host section. Configuring the Serial Port After the 3494 Tape Library is connected to the workstation, you must configure the serial port to which it is connected. Set the following TTY port attributes: Baud rate: 9600 Data bits: 8 Stop bits: 1 Parity: None Defining the Symbolic Name to the lmcpd After the software is installed and all of the desired tape libraries are connected to the system, the /etc/ibmatl.conf file must be edited to define the tape libraries 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/etc/ibmatl.conf file. Connection type is used to define the type of connection to the library (either RS-232 or TCP/IP). For RS-232 connections, this type is the device special file name of the tty device (for example, /dev/ttya or /dev/tty1). For TCP/IP connections, this type is Chapter 9. 3494 Enterprise Tape Library Support 237
