The StorageTek SAM-Remote client and server software allows automated libraries to be shared among the Solaris systems in an Oracle HSM environment. StorageTek 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.
The StorageTek SAM-Remote daemons, sam-serverd
and sam-clientd
,
control StorageTek SAM-Remote. The sam-robotsd
daemon starts the
sam-serverd
and sam-clientd
daemons.
The identifiers associated with these daemons are as follows:
The identifier of the master shared memory segment created
by sam-amld
.
The identifier of the preview shared memory segment created
by sam-amld
.
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.
Configuring the StorageTek SAM-Remote client and server software involves
adding lines to the mcf
file on both the system to be used as
the StorageTek SAM-Remote client and on the system to be used as
the StorageTek SAM-Remote server.
In addition, a client configuration file must be created on the StorageTek SAM-Remote client, and a server configuration file must be created on the StorageTek 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 StorageTek SAM-Remote client or ss
to define a StorageTek 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 StorageTek SAM-Remote configuration process, see the Oracle HSM Documentation Library.
