(SMC) library device on the node that will run the HPSS LTO PVR, and verify that it is operational.
To configure the library:
root% cfgmgr
root% lsdev -Cc tape | grep smc
smc0 Available 40-58-00-0,1 IBM 3584 Library Medium Changer
To test communication with the library:
% tapeutil -f <smc device filename> inventory
To test tape mounts:
% tapeutil -f <smc device filename> move <Source Slot> <Drive
Slot>
To test tape dismounts:
% tapeutil -f <drive device filename> unload
% tapeutil -f <smc device filename> move <Drive Slot> <Source
Slot>
Perform these tests before starting HPSS as the SMC device may be opened by only one process at a
time.
For drives in an IBM 3584 robot, identify the robot-specific device id (LTO drive locations) for each
Mover tape device. This will be required when configuring the tape drives within HPSS.
To identify robot-specific device ids for each Mover tape device in an LTO robot:
% tapeutil -f <smc device filename> inventory
Look for addresses of drive devices in the output.
Refer to Section 5.2.8.4: LTO PVR Specific Configuration of the HPSS Management Guide for more
information.
4.3.3. 3494
For a 3494 tape library:
Identify the robot-specific device id for each Mover tape device. This will be required when
•
configuring the tape drives within HPSS.
To identify robot-specific device id for each Mover tape device in a 3494 robot:
% /opt/hpss/bin/GetESANumbers <device>
Identify range(s) of tape cartridge labels to be used by HPSS.
•
Configure the lmcp daemon on the node that will run the HPSS 3494 PVR, verify that it is
•
working properly, and configure the lmcp daemon to be started automatically during system
reboot.
To see if lmcp daemon is running:
% ps -e | grep lmcpd
