Tivoli Storage Manager for Sun Solaris: Managed System for SAN Storage Agent User's Guide


|The Device Configuration File for the Storage Agent

| |

|The device configuration file for the storage agent includes information on |the storage agent itself and information about the TSM server with which the |storage agent communicates. The file is typically named |devconfig and is located with the storage agent program as |follows: For Sun, the location is |/opt/tivoli/tsm/StorageAgent/bin. The DSMSTA |SETSTORAGESERVER command normally generates the contents of the file. |If you have changes to the TSM server or if a service representative directs |you, you may need to make changes to the information. You can use the |DSMSTA SETSTORAGESERVER command to add information to the file.

|Typical contents of the device configuration file are as follows:

|Note:
If you are utilizing an ACSLS-managed library environment, see the second |device configuration file example. |

||SET STANAME iris                                                                |
||SET STAPASSWORD xxxxxxx                                                         |
||SET STAHLADDRESS arbor.tucson.tivoli.com                                        |
||DEFINE SERVER garden serverpassword=botanical                                   |
||	HLADDRESS=garden.tucson.tivoli.com LLADDRESS=1500                              |
||                                                                                |

|In this example, IRIS is the name of the storage agent and GARDEN is the |name of the TSM server.

|Typical contents of the device configuration file for an ACSLS-managed |library environment are as follows:

|+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
||SET STANAME iris                                                                |
||SET STAPASSWORD xxxxxxx                                                         |
||SET STAHLADDRESS arbor.tucson.tivoli.com                                        |
||DEFINE SERVER garden serverpassword=botanical                                   |
||	HLADDRESS=garden.tucson.tivoli.com LLADDRESS=1500                              |
||DEFINE LIBRARY stk-lib libtype=external lanfree=yes obeymountretention=yes      |
||	EXTERNALMANAGER=/opt/OMIdtelm                                                  |
||                                                                                |
|+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

|In this example, IRIS is the name of the storage agent, GARDEN is the name |of the TSM server, and STK-LIB is the name of the ACSLS-managed |library.

|The following describes the contents of the file: |

|SET STANAME
|Sets the name of the storage agent. The name must be the same as |the name that was used to define the storage agent as a server to the TSM |server.

|SET STAPASSWORD
|Sets the password of the storage agent. The password must be the |same as the password that was used when defining the storage agent as a server |to the TSM server. The password is encrypted.

|SET STAHLADDRESS
|Sets the TCP/IP address of the storage agent.

|DEFINE SERVER
|The definition of the TSM server with which the storage agent |communicates.

|DEFINE LIBRARY
|The definition of an ACSLS-managed library to the TSM server. |The EXTERNALMANAGER parameter must specify the path where the external library |manager executable is located on the same machine as the storage |agent. |
