Disk
Devices
Define
paths
on
the
server
using
the
device
names
as
seen
by
the
storage
agent
on
each
client
system.
For
example,
on
the
server
side,
the
directory,
d:\tsmdata\server1,
is
exported
on
the
NFS
server
running
on
the
Tivoli
Storage
Manager
Server
machine.
On
the
storage
agent,
the
directory
is
NFS
mounted
as
/tsmdata/server1.
A
path
needs
to
be
created
for
each
file
drive
in
the
library.
The
following
is
the
command
issued
to
create
the
path
for
this
scenario.
In
this
example,
disklib1
represents
the
destination
file
drive
in
the
disk
library
with
a
name
of
disklib.
define
path
storagnt
disklib1
srctype=server
desttype=drive
library=disklib
device=file
directory="/tsmdata/server1/fs1,/tsmdata/server1/fs2"
It
is
recommended
that
each
directory
correspond
to
a
file
system
on
a
separate
physical
drive.
The
server
cannot
validate
PATH
information
that
is
provided
on
the
server
for
use
by
the
storage
agent.
Failures
can
occur
if
incorrect
device
information
is
provided
in
the
DEFINE
PATH
command.
Note
that
if
you
specified
multiple
directories
for
the
device
class
associated
with
the
FILE
library,
you
must
specify
the
same
number
of
directories
for
each
path
to
the
FILE
library.
To
keep
the
device
class
and
path
synchronized,
do
not
change
or
move
existing
directories
on
the
server
that
the
storage
agent
is
using.
Adding
directories
is
permitted.
Specifying
a
mismatched
number
of
directories
can
cause
a
run-time
failure.
See
the
″Defining
Device
Classes
″
chapter
in
the
Administrator’s
Guide
for
more
information.
For
command
information,
see
the
Administrator’s
Reference.

(z/OS
only)
Formatting
Volumes
for
LAN-free
Data
Movement
When
using
the
z/OS
data
manager
server,
volumes
for
sequential
access
storage
pools
that
support
LAN-free
data
movement
require
formatting
before
they
can
be
used.
LAN-free
sessions
will
fail
if
the
storage
pool
does
not
contain
any
formatted
volumes
and
does
not
allow
automatic
formatting.
For
information
about
how
to
format
volumes,
refer
to
the
Administrator’s
Guide.
Step
5.
Starting
the
Storage
Agent
and
Verifying
the
LAN-free
Configuration
In
this
final
step,
you
start
the
storage
agent
and
verify
the
LAN-free
configuration.
Step
5.1
Start
the
Storage
Agent
After
verifying
that
the
server
is
online
and
running,
start
the
storage
agent
by
changing
to
the
storage
agent
directory
and
issuing
the
following
command:
dsmsta
When
the
storage
agent
starts,
it
contacts
all
available
shared
libraries,
including
those
libraries
that
do
not
have
a
path
defined.
As
a
result,
a
delay
may
occur
during
startup
processing.
The
storage
agent
also
