Backup Central

I have two 3494 libraries at different locations.
I would like to have both defined to both of my tsm servers.

Is it possible to define two libraries in the ibmatl.conf file, and if so, how to define them to tsm?

If not, am I correct that the other option is to share the libraries as necessary defining appropriate tsm servers as library managers?

Thanks for the assistance.

Gary

A library manager is mandatory to coordinate library access. Than can be a
standalone instance or the existing instance that has exclusive access (the
latter being the easier option with an environment of this size)

Thanks

Hi Steven

A TSM library manager isnt mandatory in a 3494 library environment. If the libraries are partitioned, he can just connect his two hosts to each library and assign access through the 3494 CU.

Which is simplest is just a matter of how the existing environment looks. If the libraries are already partitioned for the two hosts, no TSM library manager is needed, just make an entry for each library in the ibmatl.conf and assign access in the 3494 CU.

if the libraries are not partitioned, and there is limited 3494 competence on-site, perhaps TSM library sharing is the way to go. It all depends on Gary's requirements (like, can we share volumes between the two TSM servers, or do they need to be divided).

Hello Daniel

Yes, you are 100% right.

I suppose I was coming from the position that Gary already had most of it
setup for a TSM library managing config, as the existing instances appear
to be managing a library each.

As is often the case, there are multiple ways to achieve the desired
results. Which is one if the benefits of this list

Thanks

Its been a long time since I've worked with 3494's. But I don't think you even have to partition them. You just have to use different category codes for the different systems.

To clarify.

Two tsm servers tsm1 and tsm2.
Two librarys lib1 and lib2

Tsm1 is connected to lib1 directly.
Tsm2 is connected to lib2.

Lib2 is actually in our offsite location, and I would like to create a connection from tsm1 to lib2 and get our current offsite data moved into it. Then, I can copy storage pool directly to lib2 and illiminate carrying tapes to a static offsite storage location.

Both libraries are 3494s containing ts1120 drives.

No library sharing is being used at the present time, but has not been ruled out.

Hopefully that has clarified things a bit.

Questions are

1. If I define both 3494s to one machine, how to define them both to tsm? By serial number?

2. If I can't define both to a single server, will library sharing with tsm work?

Some sample definitions would be helpful.

If you have two 3494s defined to one (aix) machine, they will have different lmcp and you would use the different lmcps in the path definitions for the two tsm libraries.

In the more recent releases of TSM, you would execute a 'define library'
command and a 'define path' command for each library. The two 'define
path' commands would use different values for the 'device' parameter.
Under Linux, the value for each 'device' parameter is the same as the
first field in the appropriate line of /etc/ibmatl.conf. As far as I
can recall, all Unix implementations except AIX also work this way.
Under AIX, the value for the 'device' parameter is the name of a
special file in /dev used to communicate with the appropriate library.
I don't know how the special file names are related to the contents
of /etc/ibmatl.conf.

I have no idea what you would do under TSM releases predating the
introduction of the 'define path' command.

OK, so TSM2 and lib2 are both offsite? You're implying that but it's not
100% clear.

I'm not particularly familliar with TS1120's are these SCSI or FC attach?

What connectivity is available between the 2 sites?

Quite so. The 3494 has historically benefitted from having an embedded library manager, unlike "SCSI" libraries, and can do a lot without the need for a TSM Library Manager and that added complexity.

Richard Sims

Tsm2 server is onsite.
Connectivity to 1120 drives is fibre channel


This strange config grew because I have just finished converting all our netbackup environment to tsm. This offsite library, lib2, is the old netbackup library, and server tsm2 is an old netbackup server.

Yep, odd setup, I just inherrited it.
I would eventually like to replace lib1 with a virtual tape, but until then, this is what it is.

Right I get it.

I assume you are wanting to do this so you can offsite your data
electronically rather than manually?

I know this is going a bit OT, but what are your options as far as moving
TSM2 offsite to where the library is? does it have many/any clients that
need it where it is?

Also, what experience do you have with TSM server to serve stuff i.e. using
a remote library manager AND what experience with 3494 libs?

Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] 3494 library questions

Hi Steven

A TSM library manager isnt mandatory in a 3494 library environment. If
the
libraries are partitioned, he can just connect his two hosts to each
library and assign access through the 3494 CU.

Which is simplest is just a matter of how the existing environment looks.
If the libraries are already partitioned for the two hosts, no TSM
library
manager is needed, just make an entry for each library in the ibmatl.conf
and assign access in the 3494 CU.

if the libraries are not partitioned, and there is limited 3494
competence
on-site, perhaps TSM library sharing is the way to go. It all depends on
Gary's requirements (like, can we share volumes between the two TSM
servers, or do they need to be divided).

Best Regards

Daniel Sparrman

Gary

A library manager is mandatory to coordinate library access. Than can
be a
standalone instance or the existing instance that has exclusive access
(the
latter being the easier option with an environment of this size)

Thanks

I have two 3494 libraries at different locations.
I would like to have both defined to both of my tsm servers.

Is it possible to define two libraries in the ibmatl.conf file, and if
so,
how to define them to tsm?

If not, am I correct that the other option is to share the libraries as
necessary defining appropriate tsm servers as library managers?

Thanks for the assistance.
