Interface Description.″ See Figure 6 on page 11 for an example of a storage agent
using a typical external library configuration.

Note: Yo u can use the StorageTek LibraryStation to manage the environment

instead of ACSLS. However, LibraryStation is required when you are using a
z/OS data manager server.
Complete the following steps to configure your storage agent external library or
shared ACSLS library manager environment.
Step 1. Verifying the Network Connection
The server system and the client systems must be attached to the SAN along with
appropriate storage devices. The server system and the client systems must also be
connected by means of a LAN.
The Tivoli Storage Manager for Storage Area Networks feature requires specific
levels and models of hardware and software. Ensure that your system
configuration meets the hardware and software requirements for the SAN setup.

Step 2. Establishing Communications and Configuring the Client,
Storage Agent, and Tivoli Storage Manager Server
Figure 9 on page 33 shows the results of completing “Step 2.1 Client System:
Installing Software” on page 33 and “Step 2.2 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Server:
Defining the Storage Agent and Configuring Devices” on page 37. Use this figure
as a reference point as you work through the steps in this section.
