File Device Sharing Using Tivoli SANergy

 

 

 

Note: SANergy is just one option for file-sharing software. IBM TotalStorage SAN

File System is another. For current information about supported file-sharing

software, see www.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/

support/IBMTivoliStorageManager.html.

 

 

 

 

When Tivoli Storage Manager servers share access to disk storage, the environment

 

contains a shared file device class (Tivoli Storage Manager server FILE device class)

 

and utilizes the SANergy product. SANergy provides a file sharing accelerator.

 

Because you will be using a FILE library, you must determine where the Tivoli

 

SANergy client and the Tivoli SANergy Metadata Controller (MDC) will be

 

installed. You will also require a Windows share (CIFS) or a Network File Share

 

(NFS) on a UNIX system to achieve file sharing. Note that the Tivoli SANergy

 

license (included with the storage agent media) is provided with Tivoli Storage

 

Manager only for supporting LAN-free backup to disk. See Figure 5 for the

 

possible Tivoli SANergy configurations. (Refer to the SANergy publications for

 

additional information about configuring SANergy.)

Figure 5. Tivoli SANergy Configurations

One possible configuration is for the Tivoli SANergy client to be installed on the Tivoli Storage Manager client machine (1) and the Tivoli SANergy MDC to be installed on the Tivoli Storage Manager server (2). These configurations can also consist of multiple platforms. For example, an environment can consist of a Sun MDC working with Windows and AIX clients.

External Libraries

If Tivoli Storage Manager native library support (as described in “ACSLS, SCSI and 349X Tape Library Sharing” on page 6) cannot be used, the alternative is to
