Tape Library Management.


How the TSM Server Manages Storage :
Library :
A library is one or more drives (and possibly robotic devices) with similar media mounting requirements.

Drive :
Each drive represents a drive mechanism in a tape or optical device.

Path :
A path represents how a source accesses a destination.

Device class :
Each device is associated with a device class that specifies the device type and how the device
manages its media.

Storage pools and volumes :


A storage pool is a named collection of volumes that have the same media type. A storage pool is
associated with a device class.

Types of Tape Library

Shared Libraries :

Shared libraries are logical libraries that are represented physically by SCSI, 349X, or ACSLS
libraries.

ACSLS Libraries :
An Automated Cartridge System Library Software (ACSLS) library is a type of external library that
is controlled by the Sun StorageTek ACSLS software.

Manual Libraries :
In a manual library, an operator mounts the volumes. You cannot combine drives of different
types or formats, such as Digital Linear Tape (DLT) and 8 mm, in a single manual library.

SCSI Libraries :
A SCSI library is controlled through a SCSI interface, attached either directly to the server's host
using SCSI cabling or by a storage area network. A robot or other mechanism automatically
handles volume mounts and dismounts. The drives in a SCSI library may be of different types.

349X Libraries :
A 349X library is a collection of drives in an IBM 3494. Volume mounts and demounts are
handled automatically by the library. A 349X library has one or more library management control
points (LMCP) that the server uses to mount and dismount volumes in a drive.

External Libraries :
An external library is a collection of drives managed by an external media management system
that is not part of Tivoli Storage Manager.

Attaching Devices to the Server Systems.

Install the SCSI or FC card in your system,

Determine the SCSI IDs available on the SCSI adapter card ,

Follow the manufacturer's instructions to set the SCSI ID for the drive to the unused SCSI IDs
that you found.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions to attach the device to your server system hardware.

Power off your system before attaching a device to prevent damage to the hardware.

Attach a terminator to the last device in the chain of devices connected on one SCSI adapter
card.

Install the appropriate device drivers for attached tape devices.

Attaching an Automated Library Device

Determine the SCSI IDs available on the SCSI adapter card to which you are attaching the
device. Find one unused SCSI ID for each drive, and one unused SCSI ID for the library or
autochanger controller.

IBM device drivers are available on the ftp site ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr .

The IBM device driver Atape should be installed for the following devices:
IBM 3570
IBM 3480, 3490, and 3490E
IBM 3590, 3590E, and 3590H
IBM 3592
IBM MP 3570 and 3575
IBM LTO Ultrium 3576, 3580, 3581, 3582, 3583, and 3584

The IBM device driver atldd should be installed for IBM 3494 and 3495 devices.
Command to check whether Atape driver is installed :

Once Device Drivers are installed , the drives , medium changers will be visible from the AIX
level.

Library Configuration from TSM

Define the library from TSM :


# TSM # define library autodltlib libtype=scsi autolabel=yes

Define Library Path :


# TSM # define path server1 autodltlib srctype=server desttype=library device=/dev/smc0

Define Drives :
# TSM # define drive autodltlib drive01 serial=serialnumber
# TSM # define drive autodltlib drive02 serial=serialnumber

Define Paths for the Drive :


#TSM# define path server1 drive01 srctype=server desttype=drive library=autodltlib device=/dev/rmt0
#TSM# define path server1 drive02 srctype=server desttype=drive library=autodltlib device=/dev/rmt1

Define device class :


#TSM# define devclass autodlt_class library=autodltlib devtype=lto format=drive

Other Useful AIX Commands :


Tapeutil commands are used for 3583 , 3584 Libraries and mtlib for 3494 Library.

To move a tape from element source slot to destination slot :


#AIX# tapeutil -f /dev/smc0 inv | grep p Volume Name
#AIX# tapeutil -f /dev/smc0 move 1026 774

To look at status of a drive


#AIX# tapeutil -f /dev/rmt1 status

To unload a tape
#AIX# tapeutil -f /dev/rmt1 unload

Mtlib Commands :
#AIX# mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -qI inv|more
#AIX# mtlib -l /dev/lmcp0 -C -V VolumeName -s 0130 -t FF00
FF00
012C
