Library Configuration File Format

The library configuration file defines the symbolic library name, the IP address of the Enterprise Tape Library 3494, the identifier used by the IBM Library Manager control service, and an optional second Internet address for a high availability server. Any text following # is treated as a comment.

The format of the statements in the ibmatl.conf file is:

libraryname address identifier address2

The following list explains the parts of the statement:

libraryname

Indicates a symbolic name of the library.

Limits: 32 characters

address

Indicates a value that represents the IP address of the Enterprise Tape Library 3494.

identifier

Indicates the host name of the computer. The IBM Library Manager uses the identifier to locate the Arcserve Backup server. The identifier is also known as the return alias.

address2

(Optional) Specifies a second IP address for a high availability server.

Note: Do not specify the second IP address if you are not using a high availability server.

In the following example, the symbolic name of the library is 3494a, the IP address of the Enterprise Tape Library 3494 is 174.24.111.111, and the host name is host01:

3494a     174.24.111.111     host01

The first eight characters of the identifier defined in this file must match the first eight characters of the LAN host specified for the Arcserve Backup server in the Enterprise Tape Library 3494. The following example shows a definition of the LAN host on the Enterprise Tape Library 3494 and on the Arcserve Backup server:
