rd=omega:/dev/rmt/1mbncreates a device called /dev/rmt/1mbnon a storage node machine called omega. For specific instructions, see the online help for configuring devices.
There are two steps to configure a remote autochanger or silo device. First, verify that the storage node is listed in the Administrator attribute in the Server resource of the controlling server. It must have the form
root@hostname, wherehostnameis the hostname of the storage node. Then run the jb_configprogram on the storage node machine to define each device in the autochanger or silo. See "jb_config" on page 238 or refer to the jb_config man page for the syntax and options for this program.
When the
jb_config program is completed, you can remove the storage node's hostname from the Administrator list. If you add another autochanger later, you must add the storage node's host name to the Administrator's attribute before running the jb_configprogram again.

Multiple Network Interfaces

If you prefer to use an interface other than the default interface, use the server network interface attribute. Enter the preferred interface in the client's server network interface attribute.
When doing a
save, you can have multiple network interfaces defined on a storage node. You specify the storage node's interfaces in the Storage Nodes attribute list. This allows different clients to use different network interfaces for the same storage node.
