Installation of the Client SMM

Overview of the Client

The client software is installed on a second NonStop system and is designed to

communicate with another NonStop system, which is the host to the tape library

device. The server controls the robot on the tape library. The client sends its requests

to the server, and the server then sends the request to the tape library. The client can

only communicate with the tape library through the NonStop system.

Installing the SMM Client

Installation of Silo Media Manager (SMM) consists of installing the software,

transferring files, and configuring the SMM client to communicate with the selected

host. The tape drives can be configured with a NonStop S-series system. In the

CTL700 tape library, the maximum number of 5259 and N1521A tape drives that can

be configured using Silo Media Manager is 20. The maximum number of CT9840-

1/CT9840FC-1/CT9841FC-1 tape drives that can be configured is 12.

In the SL500 tape library, the maximum number of N1522A tape drives that can be

configured is 14.

Note. You must configure the server before the client.
