170 Sun StorageTek SAM Archive Configuration and Administration Guide • Version 4, Update 6, 04/07
Upon initialization, the system builds a client catalog and passes it to the Sun SAM-
Remote client based on information from the Sun SAM-Remote server catalog file.
After the connection between the host and client is established, media available to
the client is flagged as available. If the connection between the client and server is
lost, the media on the client side is flagged as unavailable. You can view the media
availability through the samu(1M) v display. The information that appears in the
samu(1M) v display on the client is a subset of that which appears in the v display
on the server. It is therefore a good idea to access the media catalog through the
samu(1M) v display on Sun SAM-Remote server. For more information about the
Sun SAM-Remote server client file, see “Configuring the Sun SAM-Remote
Software” on page 170. For information on using the samu(1M) operator utility, see
the Sun StorageTek QFS File System Configuration and Administration Guide.
Changes to the catalog are passed between hosts as necessary. Any changes in the
server catalog that involve a media type associated with a client are passed to the
client, and the client catalog is updated.
Archiving
Sun SAM-Remote archive processing is the same as Sun StorageTek SAM archive
processing. The Sun SAM-Remote client makes a mount request to be added to the
server’s mount request table. The client then waits for the server to respond with a
message indicating that the media is mounted. Archiving begins when the media is
available.
Configuring the Sun SAM-Remote
Software
This section explains how to perform an initial configuration of the Sun SAM-
Remote server and client software. It includes the following sections:
■ “Example Configuration” on page 170
■ “Configuring the Software” on page 171
Example Configuration
FIGURE 7-3 depicts the sample configuration used in this chapter’s procedures. The
examples in this chapter show how to configure a Sun SAM-Remote server called
chicago.
