Duane, Duane,
What Christian said. Some of the best guidance on the subject comes from the Redbook "Implementing IBM Tape in Unix Systems" >>> http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246502.html?Open - check out chapter Chapter 5 where the TSM Library Manager and TSM Library Client stuff is set up is explained and exampled (can I use that as a verb?) very clearly and concisely. Another great Redbook on this is "Get More Out Of Your SAN with Tivoli Storage Manager" (http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246502.html?Open) where Chapter 3 is your friend. And, of course, the IBM TSM Admin Guide has some pretty definitive stuff in it (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v1r1/topic/com.ibm.itsmai xn.doc/anragd55117.htm#scfgauto). Hope that helps - it may look pretty complex, but actually it's quite straightforward to implement (as long as you can keep strict tabs on your tape device names/paths - a common source of pain in shared environments). /David Mc London, UK -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Christian Svensson Sent: 31 March 2009 07:12 To: [email protected] Subject: [ADSM-L] SV: TSM sharing a library. Hi, Here is some steps you need to do. I maybe forgot one or two steps but this is the basic. Setup the SAN so all your TSM Servers have access to the Tape Library. Setup the library on your Library Manager server with Def Libr, Def Dr, Def Path, Def devc Setup server-2-server communcation On the front-end server setup Def Libr, Def Devc On the Libr Manager Setup the Path for the Front-End server.

Good day everyone, Does anyone have any experience sharing a single library with multiple TSM servers? We purchased a Spectralogic T950 with LTO4 drives and the capacity of the library is enormous. And our amount of data is equally enormous, but certainly exceeds a single TSM DB. All backup data is from remote sites. At a minimum what will I need to successfully use multiple AIX TSM instances to utilize a single library ? Thanks, Duane No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG.
