Adding an AML/SDLC Virtual Tape Library
To add an AML/SDLC virtual tape library, follow the steps in Adding a Tape Library. The only differences between adding an ordinary tape library and adding an AML/SDLC tape library are the following:
Set the Tape Library Type field to ADIC_AML on the Add Tape Library dialog box. This will cause the following:
Using Slot, Cleaning Slot, and Cleaning Threshold fields become inactive.
The menu on the Device Type field is disabled.
The OK button changes to the Test button.
Enter in the Controller ID field the complete path and file name of the tape library controller device file. For example:
/BackEx/bin/JB/sync_sa0
.Press the Test button in order to update the Device Type field. The device type is pre-defined in the tape library controller. If the device type is successfully updated, the Test button will change back to the OK button. If not, DPX displays a message stating that it is unable to get information for the specified virtual tape library.
