Defining a Library Path for LAN-free Data Movement

To define a path from a storage agent to an external library manager, first complete the following fields and then click Finish, or click Cancel to end this task.

When you define a path, you make the destination (a library) accessible to the source.

Source Name

Enter the name of the storage agent that will be the source for this path. The source must already be defined to the server. A unique library path will have to be defined for each storage agent being defined to the server. 

Destination Name

Select the name of the library that will be the destination for this path. The library must already be defined to the server. 

External Library Manager

Enter the path name of the external library manager location where IBM Tivoli Storage Manager can send media access requests. The path name is the path the source server uses to access the external library manager.

Device On-Line

Select whether the path is available for use. The default is Yes.

Yes The path is online and available for use. However, if either the source or the destination is not available, the path is not available.
No The path is not available for use.
