4 Installing and Configuring Your Library Hardware

The installation and configuration of your library hardware involve the following tasks:

• Installing Connections to Your Library Hardware

  Installing connections to library hardware involves:

  • Adding the SCSI mchanger device driver

  • Optionally enabling Dual TCP/IP support (for the SL8500 or SL3000)

• Using acsss_config to Configure Your Library Hardware

  This lets you:

  • Establish library communications

  • Configure the number of libraries to be supported and if they are partitioned

  • Establish if the connection to a library is SCS/Fibre, TCP/IP, serial or SCSI/Fibre and the format to use

  • Reconfigure your library hardware

    Note:

    Refer to the ACSLS Product Information Guide for the current list of supported libraries, drive types, media types, and the drive-to-media compatibility.
