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:

vStep 1: Verifying network configuration

Note: Ensure that your system meets the prerequisites for the SAN configuration.

vStep 2: Establishing communications among client, storage agent, and Tivoli Storage Manager server
