z/Linux, TSM 5.3, and STK

2006-01-05 Thread MOEUR TIM C
Has anybody done this? I'm trying to configure our STK 9310 powderhorn robotics to work with TSM running under Suse LE 9. If you've down this, I'd love to see some outline of where to start. STK support hasn't been too helpful with this venture. Tim [EMAIL PROTECTED

I should have asked a further question. I assume you realize that TSM under z/Linux will only write to fibrechannel drives, not FICON or ESCON. If your 9310 is controlled by an open system running ACSLS, you are fine. If it is controlled by a z/OS system, you need an additonal piece of software

To effectively use TSM on z/Linux with an STK 9310, you need an additional piece of software called Enterprise Distributape, sold/supported by Gresham Computing. Give them a call. http://www.gresham-computing.com/main.asp?page=148 Scott Ledbetter Sun Microsystems/StorageTek -Original

I have since spoken with our TSM server administrator who told me to try the 5.3 client even though we run a 5.2 server. Again I got indications that for 64bit installation, you need API, API64 then BA. That installed fine, now for configuration and testing. /Tom Kern --- Rich Smrcina [EMAIL

1) Report it as a bug to TSM support ASAP. This is a system integrity exposure, as the first time you install service or run insserv, you're likely to render your system unbootable when insserv rearranges all the symlinks in /etc/init.d and the dsmserv.rc script gets some completely bogus start
