Check the configuration
Use the Sa_TapeAssure -d option to check the key configuration parameters:
• CVTL Management Station IP – Command View TL management station IP address
• Port number – Command View TL management station port number. Most likely this will be
8099, but it can be changed using Command View TL
• Polling Interval – verify that tickets are checked frequently enough to match your
mount/unmount model. The installation default is that all outstanding tickets are pulled by the HP
LTFS drive are sent every hour. Tickets are not removed from the HP LTFS ticket store directory after
they are sent to Command View TL so they can still be viewed directly with L&TT.
•
Ticket Store Directory
– By default, HP LTFS stores the pulled tickets in the /var/logs/
directory, but this can be changed by the HP LTFS user. The TapeAssure LTFS service configuration
must match the ticket store directory used by HP LTFS.
Check the TapeAssure LTFS service log for sent tickets
As tickets are sent to Command View TL, a log entry is made in the SA-TapeAssure_Service_log file,
which is found in the logs folder in the install directory. The entry shows the ticket name, which includes
the drive serial number and the time at which the ticket was created by HP LTFS.
Check that the TapeAssure service is running
Use the Sa_TapeAssure utility to verify that the HP TapeAssure LTFS service is running. Sa_TapeAssure
-d
should report that the service is RUNNING.
