% tapeutil -f <smc device filename> inventory
To test tape mounts:
% tapeutil -f <smc device filename> move <Source Slot> <Drive Slot>
To test tape dismounts:
% tapeutil -f <drive device filename> unload
% tapeutil -f <smc device filename> move <Drive Slot> <Source Slot>
Run this before HPSS has started since only one process can have an open smc device file
descriptor.
For drives in an IBM 3584 robot, identify the robot-specific device id (LTO drive locations) for each
Mover tape device. This will be required when configuring the tape drives within HPSS.
To identify robot-specific device ids for each Mover tape device in an LTO robot:
% tapeutil -f <smc device filename> inventory
Look for addresses of drive devices in the output.
Refer to Section 6.8.13.2: LTO PVR Information on page 387 for more information.
3.5.2 3494
For a 3494 tape library:
• Identify the robot-specific device id for each Mover tape device. This will be required when
configuring the tape drives within HPSS.
To identify robot-specific device id for each Mover tape device in a 3494 robot:
% /opt/hpss/bin/GetESANumbers <device>
• Identify range(s) of tape cartridge labels to be used by HPSS.
• Configure the lmcp daemon on the node that will run the HPSS 3494 PVR, verify that it is
working properly, and configure the lmcp daemon to be started automatically during
system reboot.
To see if lmcp daemon is running:
% ps -e | grep lmcpd
To start the lmcp daemon:
root% /etc/methods/startatl
To test whether lmcp daemon is configured and working correctly:
