Hi

1. You don't have to have ACSLS software to run the L700. It's a standard
SCSI library.

2. There is no special way to configure the L700. You just configure it as
a standard SCSI library. Here are some hints:
9840 drives is configured as ECartridge drives
You have to configure the L700 and define onbus and offbus drives(which
means drives that isn't on the same chain as the robotics is offbus).
Drive 1 is the drive placed highest in the library, which mean that the
drive slot in the bottom is the last drive.
Check the firmwarelevel. If I remember correctly, you have to have at
least firmware version 220(needs to be checked, it was sometime ago I
configured one of thoose).

Everything else is just standard configuration.

Hi,

I have been tasked with configuring a StorageTek L700 into a new TSM
environment.

The environment is as follows:-


TSM Server 4.1 running on AIX 4.3.3. TSM will eventually be upgraded to
4.2.1.

StorageTek Robot SCSI attached to Server.
6 9840 Drives fibre attached to Brockade Switch.

What I need to know is

1) Do you need ACSLS software from StorageTek to drive the library or does
TSM drive the Library  ?
2) Can anyone supply the decvonfig files for this type of config or provide
any tips  etc.. ?


Any help would be appreciated.

Regards Jason
