Defining a Library Path

To define a path for a NAS device, 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 (a data mover on a NAS device).

Source Name

Enter the name of the data mover that will be the source for data moved on this path. The data mover must already be defined to the server.

Destination Name

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

Source Type

DATAMOVER The source is a data mover, for example, a data mover in a NAS device.

Destination Type

LIBRARY The destination entity is a library. For path definition from a NAS data mover to a library, the library must be defined with LIBTYPE=SCSI.

Device

Enter the device name for the library. The source uses this name to access the library. For example, if you are defining a path from a NAS device to a library, the device name is a special file name such as \lb3.2.0.

Device On-Line

Select whether the path is on-line, or available for use. The default is Yes.

Yes The path is available for use. However, the path is not available if either the source or the destination is not on-line.
No The path is not available for use.
