To define a library for LAN-free data movement, first complete the following fields and then click Finish, or click Cancel to end the task.
Note: A library can only be accessed by one source.
Enter the name of the library to be defined. The maximum length of this name is 30 characters.
Shared | Specifies that the library is an IBM 3494 Tape Library Dataserver, managed by another IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server defined as a primary library manager. The primary library manager must be an Open Systems IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server capable of acting as a library manager for the 3494. |
External | Specifies that the library is managed by an external media
management system. This library type does not support drive definitions
via the DEFINE DRIVE command. The external media management system
identifies the appropriate drive for media access operations.
This parameter specifies that Storage Tek Automated Cartridge System Library Software (ACSLS) or Library Station software controls the library. The third-party software such as Gresham EDT-DistribuTAPE allows multiple servers to share the library. The drives in this library are not defined to IBM Tivoli Storage Manager. ACSLS identifies the drives for media operations. |
Note: This field is required and valid only when the Library Type is Shared.
Enter the name for the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server that is responsible for controlling access to library resources. You must define this server with the DEFINE SERVER command before you can use it as a library manager.
