Re-adding a previously created VTL

You can use the configuration wizard to find previously created virtual tape libraries and add the devices to the server. You can use this method to add a device that was removed from the server.

To re-add a previously created VTL:
1
Start the device configuration wizard.
2
On the Add Storage Devices page, select the Virtual tape library/media changer option and the Re-add previously generated virtual device check box.
3
In the list of NetVault machines, select the machine on which the device was created. Click Next to scan the selected client and display the discovered VTLs.
4
In the Device list, select the device that you want to add, and click Next.
After the device is successfully added and initialized, a message is displayed.

About virtual standalone drive

Virtual standalone drives emulate tape drives on disk. Virtual standalone drives are included in NetVault as a licensable option.

With these devices, you have the flexibility to perform quick backups to disks, and during off-peak hours migrate or duplicate the backups to physical devices for off-site storage. The Media Manager does not distinguish between virtual and physical tapes. Therefore, you can use the same process to set up backup policies, including retirement period and rotation schemes. Virtual standalone drives are represented as directories on the disk. The virtual tapes reside as media files in the directory.

Creating and adding a virtual standalone drive

You can use the configuration wizard to create a virtual standalone on the NetVault Server or a SmartClient. When creating the device, you can specify the size of the virtual tape. After the device is created, it is automatically added to the server.

To create and add a Virtual Standalone Drive:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Guided Configuration, and then on the NetVault Configuration Wizard page, click Add Storage Devices.
— or —
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices, and then click Add Device.
2
On the Add Storage Devices page, select the Single virtual disk device option, and click Next.
3
In the list of NetVault machines, select the machine on which you want to create the device, and click Next.
4
On the Add Single Virtual Disk Device page, provide the following details.

Description

Choose the location on disk where you wish to create the new device

Specify the location where you want to create the device.

Make sure that the path is already created on the selected machine. NetVault does not create any non-existing directories in the path.

Choose a name for the device

Specify a unique name for the device.

NOTE: The single virtual disk device name does not support non-Latin characters.

Choose a 5 character media barcode prefix

The NetVault Server automatically generates a barcode prefix and assigns it to the virtual tape. If you want to change it, type a unique code for the device.

Specify the media capacity

Type or select the size of the virtual tape. The media size is specified in GiB. Make sure that sufficient space is available on the disk to create the virtual media. The default value is 32GiB.

Click Next to create and add the device.

After the device is successfully added and initialized, a message is displayed.
