SGI IRIX 3494 Enterprise Tape Library Driver Defining the Library Device to the lmcpd After the 3494 Enterprise Tape Library Daemon for SGI IRIX is installed, configure the attached Tape Libraries and start the daemon. Define the library devices to the daemon by editing the /etc/ibmatl.conf file. 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 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/ttyd1). For TCP/IP connections, this type is the IP address of the Enterprise Library Manager. If the Library has a dual LAN card installed, the second IP address of the dual LAN card should be entered after the first IP address. Identifier is used to specify a name by which the library manager identifies the host system. This identifier has a maximum length of eight characters. The symbolic network name of the host is usually the best name to use (although any name is acceptable). This parameter is used only to identify a particular host to the Enterprise Library Manager. Alternate LAN Connection is used to specify an alternate IP address for an Enterprise High Availability LAN-attached configuration. If the High Availability Library has a dual LAN card installed, the second IP address of the dual LAN card should be entered after the first alternate LAN connection IP address. Note: For RS-232 attachments, the alternate LAN connection is not applicable. Failover for RS-232 connections proceed over the single serial line. The following examples show how to define the library name: tire /dev/ttyd2 sitlab1 This stanza defines the tire library that is connected by /dev/ttyd2 (com2) to the workstation. For example: 3494a 9.115.32.100 jupiter Note: The ttydn name is usually the special file name for a standard serial port on IRIX, where: n is the com port number. For additional information, refer to the IRIX documentation. This stanza defines the 3494a library that is connected to the host. The address of the Enterprise Library Manager is 9.115.32.100. The tape library uses the jupiter identifier for the host. For example: libmgrc9 9.115.32.100 jupiter 9.115.23.54 This stanza defines the libmgrc9 library that is connected through TCP/IP to the workstation. The IP addresses of the dual library managers are 9.115.32.100 and 9.115.23.54. libmgrc7 9.115.32.21 9.115.32.22 mercury This stanza defines libmgrc7 with a dual LAN card connected through TCP/IP to the workstation. The first address of the Library Manager on the 3494 Tape Library is 9.115.32.21 and the second address is 9.115.32.22. The library uses the mercury identifier for the host.
