     SAM-Remote interface and daemons

SYNOPSIS

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.

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.
