Updating a Library Path

To update a path to a library, first complete one or more of the following fields and then click Finish, or click Cancel to end this task.

External Library Manager

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

Device

Enter the device name for the library, as known to the source. The source uses this name to access the library. For example, if you are updating a path from a NAS data mover to a library, the device name is a special file name such as rst0l.  For 349X libraries, the alias name is a symbolic name that is specified in the /etc/ibmatl.conf file.

Detect Serial Number

Select whether the serial number for a drive or library will be automatically detected, reported, and updated. This field is optional and is only valid for paths defined from the local server to a drive or a library. 

Yes The serial number will be automatically updated to reflect the same serial number that the drive reports to Tivoli Storage Manager.
No The serial number will not be automatically updated.
