Chapter 3. Installing and Configuring Tape-Library and
File-Device Sharing Environments
This chapter describes installing and configuring the storage agent LAN-free
function in environments that are using one or more of the following:
v A shared ACSLS, SCSI, or 349X tape library. The storage agent can connect to
either the library manager or a library client.
v File device sharing using Tivoli SANergy or IBM TotalStorage SAN File System.
For current information about supported file-sharing software, see
www.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/
support/IBMTivoliStorageManager.html.
For
high-level descriptions of these environments, see Chapter 1, “Storage Agent
Overview,” on page 1 and “Types of Environments” on page 5. Before installing
and configuring the storage agent, make sure you read Chapter 2, “Planning,” on
page 5 and fill out the information forms in “Configuration Information
Worksheets” on page 13.
To install and configure the storage agent for LAN-free data movement:
1. Read the overview of the procedure. Make sure you understand the overall
process before beginning the procedure because the process takes place on
multiple machines at different times.
2. Review the complete procedure which follows the summary.
3. Complete the steps described in the procedure.
You
can use the Enable LAN-free Data Movement wizard in the Administration
Center interface to set up LAN-free data movement on the server. If you use the
wizard, you only need to perform the following steps in this procedure:
v “Install or Upgrade the Client and API Software” on page 19: Step 1 through
Step 5 (Step 6 is optional)
v “Install and Configure the Storage Agent” on page 21: Step 14 and Step 15
v “Step 4. (z/OS only) Formatting Volumes for LAN-free Data Movement” on
page 28
v “Step 5. Starting the Storage Agent and Verifying the LAN-free Configuration”
on page 28: All steps
If
you have not used the Enterprise Management LAN-free Wizard to set up
LAN-free data movement on the Tivoli Storage Manager server, perform all steps
in this procedure.
Overview of Installation and Configuration Tasks
The following overview outlines the installation and configuration tasks provided
in this chapter:
v Step 1: Verifying network configuration
Note: Ensure that your system meets the prerequisites for the SAN
configuration.
v Step 2: Establishing communications among client, storage agent, and Tivoli
Storage Manager server
