Checking the status of a tape drive

To check the status of an offline tape drive:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices.
2
In the list of devices, locate and click the drive.
3
Click Check, and then in the confirmation dialog box, click OK.
If the device is operational, its status is changed to “Available.”

Changing the status of a tape drive

To change the drive status to online or offline:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices.
2
In the list of devices, locate and click the drive.
3
Click Online or Offline:
•
If the device is offline, click Online to bring it back online.
•
If the device is online, click Offline to mark it offline.
This operation does not physically take the device offline; it just makes the device unavailable for use in NetVault Backup.

Configuring cleaning slots

Before loading cleaning tapes, you must configure the slots that can hold the cleaning media. You can configure cleaning slots from Edit Device page. For more information, see Modifying a library.

 
* 
NOTE: If cleaning slots are not defined, cleaning tapes without barcodes are loaded every time the library is initialized.
