Chapter
2.
Planning
You
can
set
up
IBM
Tivoli
Storage
Manager
for
Storage
Area
Networks
in
a
number
of
environments.
Planning
the
system
configuration
provides
a
smooth
transition
through
system
setup
and
into
production.
As
part
of
your
planning,
you
need
to
identify
the
following:
v
Which
environment
to
implement.
v
Devices
to
be
used
for
LAN-free
data
movement.
v
The
clients
that
will
use
LAN-free
data
movement.
v
The
server
that
will
manage
particular
clients’
data.
v
The
library
used
for
the
LAN-free
enabled
device.
If
the
library
is
a
Tivoli
Storage
Manager
shared
library,
you
must
identify
the
Tivoli
Storage
Manager
server
that
is
the
library
manager.
If
the
library
is
an
externally
managed
library
using
StorageTek
ACSLS,
you
must
identify
the
control
point.
Supported
Operating
Systems
In
addition
to
setting
up
the
storage
agent
on
AIX,
you
can
set
it
up
on
the
following
operating
systems:
v
Linux
®
v
HP-UX
v
Sun
Solaris
v
Windows
The
storage
agents
on
the
operating
systems
listed
above
can
work
in
conjunction
with
a
Tivoli
Storage
Manager
server
on
any
of
the
platforms
listed.
In
addition
to
the
platforms
listed,
the
storage
agent
can
also
work
in
conjunction
with
a
Tivoli
Storage
Manager
server
on
z/OS.
However,
you
must
install
and
configure
another
server
to
function
as
the
library
manager
or
implement
external
library
support
through
an
external
library
manager
(for
example,
Gresham’s
EDT-DistribuTAPE).
You
can
install
this
library-manager
server
on
any
of
the
platforms
listed.
Full
details
on
using
the
storage
agent
with
z/OS
and
OS/390
are
given
in
the
IBM
Tivoli
Storage
Manager
for
z/OS
Administrator’s
Guide
and
the
IBM
Tivoli
Storage
Manager
for
z/OS
Administrator’s
Reference.
Types
of
Environments
There
are
different
types
of
configurations
that
take
advantage
of
what
can
be
accomplished
using
a
storage
agent
in
a
LAN-free
environment.
Your
environment
is
dependent
upon
the
type
of
storage
device
you
will
be
using
for
LAN-free
data
storage.
The
following
sections
cover
descriptions
and
planning
considerations
for
several
typical
LAN-free
environments.
These
environments
are:
v
A
shared
ACSLS,
SCSI,
and
349X
Tape
Library
v
A
shared
file
device
using
Tivoli
SANergy,
IBM
TotalStorage
SAN
File
System,
or
other
supported
file-sharing
software.
For
current
information
about
supported
file-sharing
software,
see
v
An
External
Library
as
defined
in
the
Administrator’s
Guide
in
the
appendix,
″External
Media
Management
Interface
