NAME sam-remote, sam-clientd, sam-serverd - Describes the Sun SAM-Remote interface and daemons SYNOPSIS /opt/SUNWsamfs/sbin/sam-serverd mshmid pshmid equip /opt/SUNWsamfs/sbin/sam-clientd mshmid pshmid equip AVAILABILITY SUNWsamfs DESCRIPTION The Sun SAM-Remote client and server software allows automated libraries to be shared among the Solaris systems in a SAM-QFS environment. Sun SAM-Remote allows you to configure multiple storage clients that archive and stage files from a centralized optical and/or tape library. This environment also allows you to make multiple archive copies on various media housed in multiple libraries. DAEMONS The Sun SAM-Remote daemons, sam-serverd and sam-clientd, control Sun SAM-Remote. The sam-robotsd daemon starts the sam-serverd and sam-clientd daemons. The identifiers associated with these daemons are as follows: mshmid The identifier of the master shared memory segment created by sam-amld. pshmid The identifier of the preview shared memory segment created by sam-amld. equip The equipment number of the device. For more information on the sam-robotsd or sam-amld daemons, see the sam-robotsd(1M) or sam-amld(1M) man pages. CONFIGURATION Configuring the Sun SAM-Remote client and server software involves adding lines to the mcf file on both the system to be used as the Sun SAM-Remote client and on the system to be used as the Sun SAM-Remote server. In addition, a client configuration file must be created on the Sun SAM-Remote client, and a server configuration file must be created on the Sun SAM-Remote server. Each entry in mcf file can configure up to ten clients per server. Use more mcf entries to configure more than ten clients. Device and Network Interfaces sam-remote(7) In the mcf file, the Equipment Type field contains sc to define a Sun SAM-Remote client or ss to define a Sun SAM- Remote server. The server configuration file defines the disk buffer characteristics and media to be used for each client. For a client named portland for example: portland media 100 at (000031|000032|000034|000035|000037|000038) endmedia The media definitions must be indented with white space or tab characters. The regex data must be enclosed by parentheses. For a complete description of the Sun SAM-Remote configuration process, see the SAM-QFS Configuration and Administration Guide. FILES mcf The master configuration file for SAM- QFS, Sun QFS, the Sun SAM-Remote client, and the Sun SAM-Remote server. /opt/SUNWsamfs/lib/librmtsam.so The Sun SAM-Remote shared object library.
