Hi

1. You don't have to have ACSLS software to run the L700. It's a standard
SCSI library.

2. There is no special way to configure the L700. You just configure it as
a standard SCSI library. Here are some hints:
- 9840 drives is configured as ECartridge drives
- You have to configure the L700 and define onbus and offbus drives(which
means drives that isn't on the same chain as the robotics is offbus).
- Drive 1 is the drive placed highest in the library, which mean that the
drive slot in the bottom is the last drive.
- Check the firmwarelevel. If I remember correctly, you have to have at
least firmware version 220(needs to be checked, it was sometime ago I
configured one of thoose).

Everything else is just standard configuration.

Hi,

I have been tasked with configuring a StorageTek L700 into a new TSM
environment.

The environment is as follows:-


TSM Server 4.1 running on AIX 4.3.3. TSM will eventually be upgraded to
4.2.1.

StorageTek Robot SCSI attached to Server.
6 9840 Drives fibre attached to Brockade Switch.

What I need to know is

1) Do you need ACSLS software from StorageTek to drive the library or does
TSM drive the Library  ?
2) Can anyone supply the decvonfig files for this type of config or provide
any tips  etc.. ?


Any help would be appreciated.

Regards Jason
