Re: How to add advanced device support?

In AIX land, you need to install "tivoli.tsm.devices.acsls" filesets.

Here is some of my notes:
>>> update /etc/environment to include the line
        ACSLS_SERVER_HOSTNAME=cajamarca.cac.washington.edu
>>> Define the tapes using smitty adsm_tape  (smitty is the AIX
    configuration tool)
>>> start dsmadmc  and define the license
    register license file=advdev.lic   (the TSM license name may be
                                        different)
