Great. I really need your help since I am finding conflicting 
documentation when it comes to setting up the Linux side.

I finally found the part that said I need to install the "ibmatl" drivers 
which should create a /etc/ibmatl.conf

Did this and configured it for the IP address of the 3494 LM, which has 
also been configured with the IP address of the server (both on the same 
IP subnet).

Per instructions, I ran /etc/lmcpd

Some instructions said I should have a /dev/3494lib  file but I haven't 
seen it appear.

What am I missing ?

Hi Zoltan,

been there, done that cross-platform AIX/SUN/Wintel. It worked beautifully
for us, just define libraries and drives/paths to all desired ressources.
Check in tapes for each LIBM, actually we just checked scratch tapes out 
of
the retiring TSM with remove=no and checked them into the new LIBM to 
share
with or bunch of library clients.
Defining all ressources to both/all LIBMs makes it easy to dynamically 
move
or share ressources by taking the paths online or offline. The 3494 
handles
most issues and even shares the drives accessible to different Library
Managers, as long as the timeouts are set appropriately.
Very little drama to the whole procedure, just systamatically move your
tapes to avoid having volsers checked into different instances!


Have fun,

Markus
