Later you may run the dsmmaxsg utility included with the Storage Agent package
to increase the maximum transfer length for HBAs and, consequently, the block
size used for writing or reading data from certain types of tape drives, such as
LTO, 3592, and more. For details see IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for SAN
Storage Agent User's Guide, GC32-0785.
16.3.2 Storage Agent software installation
Here we describe how to install the Windows Storage agent. For UNIX, see IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager for Storage Area Network UNIX Storage Agent User's
Guide, GC32-0771.
1. Figure 16-5 on page 538 shows the Storage Agent installation menu that
launches when you run install.exe or mount the CD. Depending on your
library type, you may need to install both packages (TSM Storage Agent code
and TSM Device Driver). The Device Driver's package is needed for non-IBM
tape libraries. For demonstration purposes, we install both items. Note that a
reboot is required after installation, so we recommend that you follow the
sequence of the items in the menu.
