ADIC 5.4 manual Authorization String

SCSI-Attached Devices: Connect the storage devices to the SCSI bus on the server. Make sure the SCSI bus is properly terminated. Refer to your library’s user manual for instructions on setting the SCSI addresses.

The AMASS installation script retrieves and displays device addresses to aid you in the AMASS configuration process.

7Apply power to the storage devices and boot the UNIX server.

8To assist you in answering the AMASS script questions, refer to the “Worksheet” chapter in the Installing AMASS book.

9To install AMASS, refer to the Installing AMASS book. For any last minute instructions, refer to the Release Notes.

10After AMASS is installed, reboot the UNIX server if necessary.

11To verify the configuration, run the install_tests script. For complete information on this script, refer to the Installation Procedure chapter in the Installing AMASS book.

12Make a full backup of the AMASS File System Database and Journal by running the amassbackup - fv command with a new Backup Volume.

13Decide how you want to organize the AMASS file system. For example, what directories should be under the AMASS mount point? Set permissions for these directories to allow clients to access the file system. AMASS supports read and write permissions only; Access Control Lists (ACLs) are not supported.

14Load media and create entries in the AMASS database for all your media. For detailed steps, refer to the “Initial Setup Tasks” chapter in the Managing the AMASS File System book.

15Decide if you want to apportion media into volume groups to keep project data or department data together on a specified number of volumes. Also, do you want to have a volume group for cleaning cartridges? For a description of volume groups, refer to either the AMASS Overview book or the Managing the AMASS File System book.

Authorization String

During an AMASS installation, you are prompted to enter an authorization string. Contact ATAC to obtain the authorization string.

Note	For an upgrade, your existing authorization string will remain valid; it is not
	necessary to request a new one if your system ID remains the same.

Prior to obtaining an authorization string, you can use a 30-day temporary product key. To determine the temporary product key for your specific library, go to the ADIC Web site at www.adic.com.

A week before the 30-day time limit, AMASS displays a message on the system console indicating that the temporary product key will expire. When this happens, contact ATAC and request a permanent authorization string. If a valid authorization string is not entered by the end of the expiration period, AMASS converts to read-only mode; no data is lost.

Note The temporary product keys do not enable optional software features.
