Preface
About the StorageTek Libraries CIM Provider
Appliance
The StorageTek Libraries CIM Provider Appliance is the hardware element containing the StorageTek Libraries CIM Provider software program and the administration graphical user interface (GUI).

About the StorageTek Libraries CIM Provider

The StorageTek Libraries CIM Provider monitors L-Series and ACSLScontrolled libraries. The ACSLS Server and SNMP agents embedded in L-Series libraries retrieve data from the libraries within the network and supply the StorageTek Libraries CIM Provider with the related information. The StorageTek Libraries CIM Provider is based on WBEM Solutions J WBEM Server 1.0 in which it is embedded at runtime.

The Role of the StorageTek Libraries CIM Provider

The role of the StorageTek Libraries CIM Provider is to: 1. Collect data from StorageTek L-series and StorageTek ACSLScontrolled libraries. 2. Wrap this data in CIM format. 3. Subscribe to SNMP traps raised by the L-Series libraries SNMP agent. 4. Subscribe to ACSLS events raised by the ACSLS server. 5. Forward the related events in CIM format (i.e. CIM Indications) to WBEM Clients.

The Role of the WBEM Clients

The role of the WBEM Clients (i.e. management applications) is to query the StorageTek Libraries CIM Provider. WBEM Clients send their requests to the StorageTek Libraries CIM Provider and subscribe to StorageTek Libraries CIM Provider indications.

Installation

Installing the StorageTek Libraries CIM Provider

The StorageTek Libraries CIM Provider is embedded in the file hierarchy of the WBEM Solutions J WBEM Server. The installation procedure consists in checking the installation environment, installing the files, and configuring the WBEM Solutions J WBEM Server. WBEM Solutions J WBEM Server configuration involves creating namespaces /StorageTek/ ACSLSLibraries and /StorageTek/LSeriesLibraries, and compiling the CIM 2.8 final model and the StorageTek profile (the CIM Providers MOF files). Since the libraries of the StorageTek Libraries CIM Provider are included in the WBEM Solutions J WBEM Server software, the installation directory of the StorageTek Libraries CIM Provider must be the same directory as that of the WBEM Solutions J WBEM Server.

To Install the StorageTek Libraries CIM Provider

You must have system administration privileges to install the package. 1. Log in as root and issue the following command to ensure the WBEM Solutions J WBEM Server is started:
ps -ewf | grep wbemstartup

This command should not return an empty string. 2. Go to the root directory of the product CD-ROM. 3. Ensure the chosen installation directory of the StorageTek Libraries CIM Provider is the same directory as the installation directory of WBEM Solutions J WBEM Server. Note: The StorageTek Libraries CIM Provider files will be located in:
WBEM Solutions J WBEM Server Directory/wsi/server/jws/lib WBEM Solutions J WBEM Server Directory/wsi/server/jws/bin/ STKACS WBEM Solutions J WBEM Server Directory/wsi/server/jws/lib/ configuration

where WBEM Solutions J WBEM Server Directory is the name of the WBEM Solutions J WBEM Server directory that is located in the /usr directory.

Installation

4. Issue the following commands to mount the product CD-ROM (if not already mounted) and to go to the root directory of the CD-ROM:
mount cdrom cd /mnt/cdrom

5. If you are using the default WBEM Solutions J WBEM Server installation directory, proceed with Step (a). If you are using any other installation directory, follow the instructions in Step (b). a. Installation directory is the default installation directory (/usr):
rpm -ivh STKACSLScimpro-1.0-0.i686.rpm rpm -ivh STKcimpro-1.0-1.i686.rpm

or
rpm -ivh STK*

b. Installation directory is not the default installation directory:

rpm -ivh --prefix $INSTALL_DIR STKACSLScimpro-1.00.i686.rpm rpm -ivh --prefix $INSTALL_DIR STKcimpro-1.0-1.i686.rpm

where $INSTALL_DIR is the install directory of WBEM Solutions J WBEM Server. Example: Command line syntax to install the product under an existing directory /home/tape_provider:
rpm -ivh --prefix /home/tape_provider STKACSLScimpro-1.00.i686.rpm rpm -ivh --prefix /home/tape_provider STKcimpro-1.01.i686.rpm

6. Edit the /etc/hosts file and add a line with the computer IP address and Host name as shown in the following example:
/etc/hosts

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1

left in playground cells. (2) A reserved area of cells within an LSM used for storing diagnostic cartridges and cartridges found in-transit during power-on and before initialization of the LSM is completed. pool A collection of tape cartridges having one or more similar features or attributes, such as a pool of scratch tapes. Provider Communicates with managed objects to access data and event notifications from a variety of sources, such as the system registry or an SNMP device. Providers forward this information to the CIM Object Manager for integration and interpretation. (CIM/glossary.html) PTP See pass-thru port.

The purpose of subpooling is to ensure that certain data sets are built only within particular ranges of volumes (for whatever reason the user desires). If a volume that does not belong to the required subpool is mounted for a particular data set, it is dismounted and the mount reissued. scratch volume In ExLM, a volume that is available for receiving a new tape data set. SMI-S Storage Management Initiative Specification (aka Bluefin) slot (1) A location for drives. (2) The physical location of an SVA drive module. (3) In VTSS, part of the physical location designator for each FRU in a unit. See unit.tray.slot. (4) In SN6000, an opening in the chassis where an interface board, fabric module, or power supply can be inserted. (5) The location in a library in which a tape cartridge is stored. Synonymous with cell. SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol

S
SCR In LibraryStation, the Scratch Request Processor component. scratch An attribute of a tape cartridge that indicates it is blank or contains no useful data. scratch status In ExLM, a status value associated with a tape volume that indicates whether the volume is suitable for output operations. ExLM uses the tape management system volume scratch status if available. Otherwise, it uses the HSC volume scratch status. scratch tape A tape that is available to any user because it is not owned. scratch tape subpool A defined subset of all scratch tapes. Subpools are composed of one or more ranges of VOLSERs with similar physical characteristics (type of volume {reel or cartridge}, reel size, length, physical location, etc.). Some installations may also subdivide their scratch pools by other characteristics, such as label type (AL, SL, NSL, NL).

U
UTC Universal Time Coordinated, same as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). It is in the format: yyyyMMddHHmmss.SSSSSSsutc where yyyy is the year, MM the month, dd the day of the month, HH the hour in a 24hour clock, mm the minutes, ss the seconds, mmmmmm the microseconds, and s is a + or "-" sign indicating the sign of the UTC correction field, or a ":". In the case of a ":" the value is interpreted as a time interval, and yyyyMM are interpreted as days. utc is the offset from UTC in minutes (using the sign indicated by s). It is ignored for a time interval. For example Monday, May 25, 1998, at 1:30 PM EST would be represented as

Similarly, intervals use the same format, except that the interpretation of the fields is based on elapsed time. For example, an elapsed time of 1 day, 13 hours, 23 minutes, 12 seconds would be 00000001132312.000000:000. A UTC offset of zero is always used for interval properties.

V
volume overflow A capability that enables the system to span a single file over multiple volumes. Volume overflow is useful for sites using very large files that exceed the capacity of their individual cartridges.

W
WBEM Web-Based Enterprise Management WQL Web Query Language World Wide Name (WWN) A 64-bit integer that identifies a Fibre Channel port. WWN See World Wide Name.
