TRU64 Enterprise Tape Library Driver Installation and Configuration Instructions The IBM Tape Library driver for Tru64, (ibmatl), is a 64-bit software supplied in a product kit package. The following sections describe installation, removal, configuration, and verification procedures for ibmatl. 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. When you are installing from a tar package of the product kit from our web site, you need to unpack the tar files and keep them in directories that were created, along with the files the installation process creates, in those directories. You will also need to remember the name of the top level directory in order to uninstall and/or update the driver and utilities. Install and configure the LAN support before proceeding with the installation of the ibmatl package. For more information, refer to the Tru64 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/include/sys/mtlibio.h (application interface header file) /usr/bin/mtlib (tape library driver utility program) /usr/bin/mtevent (tape library driver utility program) /usr/bin/trcatl (tape library driver diagnostic program) /usr/doc/ibmatl/README (readme file) /usr/doc/ibmatl/license (license file) Note: If this is an update of the ibmatl package, the existing /etc/ibmatl.conf file is preserved (it is not overwritten). Installation Procedure Obtain ibmatl driver from the IBM storage FTP server in binary and execute setld command to install ibmatl driver: /usr/sbin/setld -l /driver_location/ibmatl.x.x.x.x.kit 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. For each 3494 Tape Library connected through 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 Chapter 9. 3494 Enterprise Tape Library Support 249
