from the client to define itself to the library manager. If the storage agent is
unable to define itself to the library manager, the storage agent must be defined
manually using the DEFINE SERVER command issued from the library
manager. For example:
define server storagnt serverpassword=fun4me
hladdress=agent.tucson.ibm.com lladdress=1500
4. Configure a path to the library manager. If you need information about the
commands, see the Administrator’s Reference.
If you are using a shared ACSLS library manager, configure a path to the
library manager. This involves the following steps:
a. Define a library type of ACSLS. For example:
define library libmgr1 libtype=ACSLS shared=YES
primarymanager=tsmsrvr
b. Define a path from the server to the library manager. For example:
define path tsmsrver libmgr1 srctype=server desttype=library
c. Define a device class with a device type of SERVER. For example:
define devclass adeviceclassname library=alibraryname
devtype=server servername=tsmsrvr
d. Define the storage pool. For example:
define stgpool apoolname adeviceclassname pooltype=primary
If you are using an ACSLS-managed external library, configure a path to the
external library manager. This involves the following steps:
a. Define a library type of EXTERNAL. For example:
define library stk-lib libtype=external
Note that if a library name remains constant but the library type changes
from EXTERNAL to shared ACSLS, the storage agent must be stopped and
restarted in order to recognize this change.
b. Define a path from the server to the external manager. Gresham
EDT-DistribuTAPE is the external library manager interfacing with the
ACSLS library software. The EDT executable is located in its default path
/usr/lpp/dtelm/bin/elm. For example:
define path tsmsrver stk-lib srctype=server desttype=library
externalmanager=/usr/lpp/dtelm/bin/elm
In the previous example, the path provided for the external manager
depends on the operating system where the Tivoli Storage Manager server
resides. For example:

v A Linux Tivoli Storage Manager server external manager path is

/usr/dtelm/bin/elm.

v A Sun Solaris Tivoli Storage Manager server external manager path is

/opt/OMIdtelm/bin/elm.

v A Windows Tivoli Storage Manager server external manager path is

c:\program files\GES\EDT\bin\elm.exe.

c. Define a device class with a device type of ECARTRIDGE. For example:
define devclass adeviceclassname library=alibraryname
devtype=ecartridge format=drive

Note: When you are using StorageTek 9840B tape devices with the z/OS

data manager server, the FORMAT attribute of the device class must
match the device type of the tape drive (that is, 9840B).
d. Define the storage pool. For example:
