NAME

     SAM-Remote interface and daemons

SYNOPSIS
     /opt/SUNWsamfs/sbin/sam-serverd mshmid pshmid equip

     /opt/SUNWsamfs/sbin/sam-clientd mshmid pshmid equip

AVAILABILITY

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.

     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-

                         and the Sun SAM-Remote server.
