Configuring
Devices
for
the
Storage
Agent
to
Access
This
section
provides
information
to
help
you
define
paths
from
the
storage
agent
to
the
drives
that
are
available
to
the
Tivoli
Storage
Manager
server.
Paths
allow
a
client,
by
means
of
a
storage
agent,
access
to
drives
in
a
library.
The
requirements
are
different
depending
on
the
device
you
are
using.
Consider
the
following
guidelines
before
you
begin
defining
paths
to
your
SAN
drives:
v
You
must
have
the
names
of
your
tape
and
drive
devices.
See
for
details
on
how
to
obtain
this
information
if
you
have
not
already
done
so.
v
Paths
from
the
storage
agent
to
each
drive
that
the
storage
agent
will
be
allowed
to
access
must
be
defined
on
the
library
manager.
There
must
be
a
path
defined
from
the
library
manager
to
each
drive
in
order
for
the
storage
agent
to
use
the
drive.
v
Review
tape
device
names.
For
the
same
tape
device,
the
device
name
as
known
to
the
server
will
probably
not
match
the
device
name
as
known
to
the
storage
agent.
