Configuring Shared TLM Drives
378 NetBackup Media Manager System Administrator’s Guide for Windows
See “Configuring Storage Devices” on page 17 for instructions on how to add the drives to
a Media Manager configuration.
Caution
When adding drives to Media Manager, it is especially important to assign the
correct DAS/SDLC drive name to each drive. If the drive name is incorrect, tape
mounts or backups may fail.
Use the Media Manager TLM test utility to determine the DAS/SDLC drive designations.
The following example uses
tlmtest
:
tlmtest -r dasos2box
The following is the output from this utility (the user entered the
drstat
command on
the third line).
Current client name is 'grouse'.
Enter tlm commands (? returns help information)
drstat
Drive 1: name = DN1, amu_name = 01, state = UP, type = N,
client = grouse, volser = , cleaning = NO, clean_count = 17
Drive 2: name = DE3, amu_name = 03, state = UP, type = E,
client = grouse, volser = , cleaning = NO, clean_count = 480
Drive 3: name = DE4, amu_name = 04, state = UP, type = E,
client = grouse, volser = , cleaning = NO, clean_count = 378
DRIVE STATUS complete
This output indicates that DAS/SDLC drive names DN1, DE3, and DE4 should be used. It
also shows that grouse is the client name that is being used for the Media Manager server.
Configuring Shared TLM Drives
Use one of the following procedures depending on which ADIC client/server software
you are using.
Configuring the ADIC DAS Server
Using TLM robots with SSO requires that the ADIC DAS server be configured to allow
drives to be allocated simultaneously to all NetBackup media servers that are sharing the
drives (to ADIC software, these servers are considered to be clients). DAS server software
version 3.01.4 or higher is needed.

To configure the DAS server
This example has two UNIX media servers (server_1 has IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and
server_2 has IP address yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy).
