IBM HPSS Hpss Installation Guide July Release 6.2 Revision 122, Opt/hpss/bin/GetESANumbers device

(SMC) library device on the node that will run the HPSS LTO PVR, and verify that it is operational. To configure the library:

root% cfgmgr

root% lsdev -Cc tape grep smc

smc0 Available 40-58-00-0,1 IBM 3584 Library Medium Changer

To test communication with the library:

% 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>

Perform these tests before starting HPSS as the SMC device may be opened by only one process at a time.

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 5.2.8.4: LTO PVR Specific Configuration of the HPSS Management Guide for more information.

4.3.3. 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
