The following are requirements for the library manager server:

vIf your environment consists of native ACSLS support with a StorageTek tape library, the library manager server can be a Tivoli Storage Manager server residing on an AIX, Solaris, or Windows operating system.

vIf your environment consists of an IBM 3494 tape library, the library manager server can be a Tivoli Storage Manager server residing on an AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, or Windows operating system.

vBoth environments can support the storage agent (library client) on an AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, or Windows operating system.

Note: When using a server running on a z/OS system with shared library support and a 3494 automated tape library, you must configure a Tivoli Storage Manager server on AIX, Linux, HP-UX, Solaris, or Windows as a library manager to control storage agent mount requests. When using a StorageTek library controlled by StorageTek LibraryStation software, you must configure an AIX, Solaris, or Windows server as a library manager with ACSLS support to control storage agent mount requests.
