Defining a Shared Automated Library

Shared libraries are valid for Windows, AIX, and Sun Solaris platforms.  This operation applies only when defining a library client.

A shared library in a storage area network (SAN) environment must be a SCSI and 349X library type. When you define a library as a library manager, the library manager controls library operations for the servers in the storage area network.

To define a shared automated library, first complete the following fields and then click Finish, or click Cancel to end the task.

Library Name

Enter the name of previously defined automated library to be defined as a shared library for this Tivoli Storage Manager server. This parameter is required.

Primary Library Manager

Enter the name of the previously defined Tivoli Storage Manager server to be defined as the primary library manager. The primary library manager controls library resources such as drives, auto-changers, and allocates volumes for use by this server. This parameter is required.
