Each virtual MTC device to be operated must be defined in the interface-specific ROBAR-SV configuration file (see "Interface-specific ROBAR-SV configuration files").
From the point of view of the BS2000 system, an MTC device is identified by its mnemonic device name and its device type.
The following device types are supported for ETERNUS CS:
BS2000 | Device feature | type | RRF_dir | |
Device type | Type code | in the configuration file | ||
3590E | C4 | Virtual device in | TAPE-C4 | Automatic allocation |
LTO-U4 | CE | Emulated device in | TAPE-U4 | Automatic allocation |
Operation of ETERNUS CS requires a special ROBAR rule file (see "ROBAR rule files for ETERNUS CS").
MTC device reservation by and allocation to the BS2000 systems is the responsibility of the BS2000 device management facility.
Further information is provided in section "Managing MTC devices".
