Prerequisite

Before you add a tape device, confirm whether your operating system (OS) supports the NetVault default settings.

Changing the default Drive Transfer Buffer Size option

In NetVault, the Drive Transfer Buffer Size option is set to 8 MiB by default.To ensure that this configuration is supported on your system. If this value is too high, change it to 257 KiB in the template file by , completing the following steps.

1
Open the file “drives.tpl” in a text editor.
You can find this file in <NetVault home>\devices\drives on Windows and <NetVault home>/devices/drives on Linux and UNIX.
2
In the [Device:Total Buffer Size] section, set Value to 257.
NOTE: If Drive Transfer Buffer Size is set too high and NetVault fails to allocate the transfer buffers, the backup jobs using tape devices show reduced performance.

Adding a standalone tape drive

You can use the configuration wizard to add and configure a standalone tape drive. The wizard lets you configure the device for shared access if it is connected to multiple hosts.

1
In the Navigation pane, click Guided Configuration, and then on the NetVault Configuration Wizard page, click Add Storage Devices.
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices, and then click Add Device.
2
On the Add Storage Devices page, select the Single physical tape device option, and click Next.
Click Next to scan the selected client and list the attached devices.
4
In the Choose drive table, select the device that you want to add.
In the Device display name box, provide a display name for the tape library.
Click Next.
5
If the device is connected to multiple clients (for example, in a SAN setup), all host clients are listed in the Choose Machines table. To share the drive with multiple clients, select the clients in the Choose Machines table, and click Next.

Adding a tape library

You can use the configuration wizard to add and configure a physical tape library. The wizard lets you configure the device for shared access if it is connected to multiple hosts.

1
In the Navigation pane, click Guided Configuration, and then on the NetVault Configuration Wizard page, click Add Storage Devices.
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices, and then click Add Device.
2
On the Add Storage Devices page, select the Tape library/media changer option, and click Next.
Click Next to scan the selected client and list the attached devices.
4
In the Choose library table, select the device that you want to add.
In the Tape Library Display Name box, specify a display name for the tape library.
Click Next.
6
If the library is not configured automatically, click Add drives manually. You can also use this method to assign the drives to different clients or to share the drive with multiple clients.
a
In the Choose Machine table, select the client to which the drive is attached. If the device is connected to multiple clients, select any one client.
Scan for devices: To scan the client again for attached devices, select this option.
Do not scan for devices: To use the previous scan results, select this option.
Scan only filer: To scan for devices attached to a particular filer, select this option, and then select the applicable filer.
This option is only displayed if you have installed the Plug-in for NDMP on the server and added a filer to the plug-in.
Click Next.

To leave the remaining bays empty and complete the library addition with the required drives, click Leave remaining bays empty.

b
In the Choose drive for bay table, select the device that you want to add, and click Next.
c
If the device is connected to multiple clients (for example, in a SAN setup), all host clients are listed in the Choose Machines table. To share the drive with multiple clients, select the clients in the Choose Machines table, and click Next.
To assign additional drives for the library, click Add more devices, and repeat Step a through Step c until all required drives are configured.
