Controlling VTL virtual libraries with ACSLS

If you plan to administer VTL virtual libraries using the Sun ACSLS application, you need to carry out the following tasks:

■“Discovering SAN virtual libraries from the ACSLS host” on page 70

■“Creating ACSLS host driver instances for virtual libraries” on page 71

■“Adding virtual libraries to the ACSLS configuration” on page 73.

▼Discovering SAN virtual libraries from the ACSLS host

1.Log in to the ACSLS server as root.

2.Configure all Fibre Channel‐connected virtual libraries into the system with the devfsadm command:

[ACSLS_server]root:# ./devfsadm
