Use this command to define a library. A library is a collection of one or more drives, and possibly robotic devices (depending on the library type), which can be used to access storage volumes.
A library can be accessed by only one source: a Tivoli® Storage Manager server or a data mover. However, the drives in a library can be accessed by multiple sources.
The following library types can be defined
to the Tivoli Storage
Manager server.
Syntax and parameter descriptions are available for each type.
- DEFINE LIBRARY (Define a 349X library)
- DEFINE LIBRARY (Define an ACSLS library)
- DEFINE LIBRARY (Define an External library)
- DEFINE LIBRARY (Define a FILE library)
- DEFINE LIBRARY (Define a manual library)
- DEFINE LIBRARY (Define a SCSI library)
- DEFINE LIBRARY (Define a shared library)
- DEFINE LIBRARY (Define a VTL library)
DEFINE LIBRARY (Define a ZOSMEDIA library type)
