Server
System
Record
the
names
of
the
client
nodes
on
which
you
will
install
and
configure
the
storage
agent.
This
information
will
be
needed
when
you
register
the
nodes,
set
the
policy
for
them,
and
place
any
needed
restrictions
on
them.
See
for
further
details.
Obtain
Device
Information
Note:
If
you
are
configuring
a
FILE
Library,
you
do
not
need
to
obtain
device
information.
Proceed
to
On
the
system
where
the
storage
agent
is
installed,
obtain
device
(tape
and
disk)
information.
You
will
use
the
device
information
from
the
storage
agent
when
defining
paths
for
the
server
that
functions
as
the
library
manager
in
In
the
z/OS
environment,
you
would
use
the
information
for
an
AIX
server
because
the
z/OS
servers
cannot
function
as
library
managers.
On
the
system
where
the
storage
agent
is
installed,
use
SMIT
and
issue
the
following
commands
to
obtain
information
about
tape
devices.

Client
Node
Information
Because
you
will
need
to
take
into
account
node
registration
and
policy
information,
determine
the
client
nodes
that
will
be
using
the
storage
agent.
In
a
typical
environment,
however,
a
storage
agent
is
only
used
by
a
single
node:
the
client
node
residing
on
the
same
system
as
the
storage
agent.
Consider
these
recommendations
when
determining
which
client
nodes
will
use
the
storage
agent:
v
You
will
need
to
verify
that
those
nodes
are
registered.
If
they
are
not,
you
will
need
to
register
them.
v
You
will
also
need
to
verify
the
policy
information
for
those
nodes.
The
copy
group
for
backup
and
archive
must
point
to
a
storage
pool
that
has
a
LAN-free
path
for
a
particular
storage
agent.
LAN-free
paths
exist
when
drive
paths
are
defined
and
available
for
the
storage
pool.
The
procedure
in
the
installation
and
configuration
chapter
will
create
such
a
path,
thus
allowing
LAN-free
data
transfer
for
the
node.
You
can
issue
the
VALIDATE
LANFREE
command
on
the
server
to
view
the
destinations
that
are
capable
of
LAN-free
data
movement.
Detailed
information
about
this
command
is
available
in
the
Administrator’s
Reference.
v
After
you
have
verified
the
registration
and
policy
information
for
the
nodes,
you
can
place
restrictions
on
when
a
node
can
use
the
LAN-free
path.
