  1. Storage Management Services (SMS) should be active, by running the following command:

    The output should be simillar to the following:
 novell-smdrd.service - Storage Management Services (SMS)
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/novell-smdrd.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
     Active: active (running) since Thu 2023-06-22 00:32:53 EDT; 5 days ago
       Docs: man:sms
             man:tsafs
             man:smdrd
             man:smdrd.conf
             man:smsconfig
    Process: 13066 ExecStart=/opt/novell/sms/bin/smdrd (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
   Main PID: 13119 (smdrd)
      Tasks: 5
     CGroup: /system.slice/novell-smdrd.service
              13119 /opt/novell/sms/bin/smdrd

  1. Confirm that TSAFS is loaded by running the following command:
