Defining an Automated Library

To define an automated SCSI library, first complete the following fields and then click Finish, or click Cancel to end the task.

Note: A library can only be accessed by one source. This can be either a Tivoli Storage Manager server or a data mover. 

Library Name

Enter the name of the library to be defined. The maximum length of this name is 30 characters.

 

World Wide Name

Enter the Fibre Channel world wide name of the library if the library will be accessed by a data mover for outboard copy operations. 

Note: This field only applies to the  Windows platform.

 

Serial Number

Enter the serial number of the library if the library is going to be accessed by a data mover for outboard copy operations.

Note: This field only applies to the  Windows platform.

 

Share Library

If you are defining a library manager, select Yes.  The default is No.

Yes Specifies that the library is to be shared by one or more other Tivoli Storage Manager servers in a storage area network (SAN).  This parameter is valid for SCSI libraries only.
No Specifies that the library will not be shared.

Note: SCSI libraries in a NAS environment cannot be shared with another library.
