In the following example, two 8mm drives are attached to the server system. Because an operator must mount tapes for these drives, you must define the drives as part of a manual library.
You must first set up the device on the server system. This involves the following tasks:
define library manual8mm libtype=manual
define drive manual8mm drive01 define drive manual8mm drive02
See Defining Drives and http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/tivolimain.html.
define path server1 drive01 srctype=server desttype=drive library=manual8mm device=/dev/mt1 define path server1 drive02 srctype=server desttype=drive library=manual8mm device=/dev/mt2
In this example, the path between the server, SERVER1, and the drive called DRIVE01 is defined using the special file name /dev/mt1. The path between the server, SERVER1, and the drive DRIVE02 is defined using the special file name /dev/mt2. You might prefer to have the device special file name and the TSM name match. For more about device names, see Determining Device Special File Names.
For more information about paths, see Defining Paths.
define devclass tape8mm_class library=manual8mm devtype=8mm format=drive
query library query drive query path query devclass
See Requesting Information About Libraries, Requesting Information about Drives, Requesting Information about a Device Class, and Requesting Information About Paths.
define stgpool tape8mm_pool tape8mm_class maxscratch=20
Key choices:
Use the following procedure to ensure that volumes are available to the server:
label libvolume manual8mm vol001
Keep enough labeled volumes on hand so that you do not run out during an operation such as client backup.
After you have attached and defined your devices, you can store client data in two ways:
