Applies to:
Sun StorageTek Auto Cartridge Sys Lib SW (ACSLS) - Version 8.5 and laterSun StorageTek Enterprise Library Software (ELS) - Version 7.3 and later
IBM z/OS on System z
Oracle Solaris on SPARC (64-bit)
Oracle Solaris on x86-64 (64-bit)
Linux x86-64
If you want to access an SL4000 library from z/OS ELS 7.3, then you must install ACSLS 8.5 and configure the XAPI server component and then setup both the z/OS ELS 7.3 SMC, and ACSLS 8.5 XAPI component as specified in this document. Configuration of the z/OS ELS 7.3 SMC client to ACSLS 8.5 XAPI server requires knowledge of the following:
• z/OS ELS 7.3 SMC TAPEPLEX and SERVER commands
• ACSLS dynamic variable configuration and the dv_config command
• XAPI security XCLIENT and XUDB commands
• ACSLS XAPI XSECURITY command
• ACSLS XAPI component xapi_startup_file configuration
Goal
Configuring z/OS ELS 7.3 SMC as a client to the ACSLS 8.5 XAPI server component requires coordination of the following configuration parameters between client and server:
- The TapePlex name
- The ACSLS server hostname or IP address and ACSLS XAPI server port number
- The XAPI security configuration including the ACSLS XAPI XSECURITY setting, and/or the ACSLS XAPI XCLIENT commands, and/or client and server XUDB commands.
