Parameters

library_name (Required)
Specifies the name of the library to be updated.

DEVIce
Specifies the new names of the devices that access the library's robotic mechanism. For example, you might specify lb3.0.0.0 as the device name. This parameter is required for SCSI and 349X library types, but is not valid for MANUAL, EXTERNAL, or ACSLS libraries. If the library type is SCSI, only one device name is allowed. If the library type is 349X, 1-8 device names are allowed. For additional information, see the Administrator's Guide.

SHAREd
Specifies whether this SCSI library client is shared with other servers in a storage area network (SAN). You can not change the SHARED attribute from YES to NO if the library contains private volumes that are owned by other servers. You must issue this command from the library manager server for the shared library.

No
Specifies that the library is not shared with other servers.

Yes
Specifies that this library is shared with other servers.

EXTERNALManager
Specifies a new path name for an external library manager. This parameter is optional and only applies to the EXTERNAL library type.

ACSID
Specifies the number of this STK library assigned by the ACSSA (Automatic Cartridge System System Administrator). This can be a number from 1 to 64. Issue QUERY ACS on your system to get the number for your library ID. See your STK documentation for more information.
