Removing a tape drive

You can use the following procedure to remove a tape drive that is no longer required.

When you remove a tape drive, the information about the tape that is loaded is not deleted from the NetVault Database. You can use the tape on any other drive that supports the media type. Scanning is not required if you use the tape in the same NetVault Backup domain. In a different NetVault Backup Domain, you must scan the tape to access the backups.

3
Click Modify.
4
On the Edit Device page, click the drive to be removed.
6
Click Save.

Adding shared devices

Adding shared drives can only be performed using tree view of the Manage Devices page.

Drive sharing requires an infrastructure where multiple machines can establish direct paths to the devices, such as in a switched Fiber Channel environment. In such environments, you can share the devices with multiple SmartClients for better resource utilization through direct access. The shared drives can be controlled by multiple machines (NetVault Backup Server, Client, or Filers), but the library arm changer remains under the control of one NetVault Backup Client. Each device that is to be shared by more than one NetVault Backup Client uses a Dynamically Shared Device (DSD) license.

The following sections describe the procedure for adding shared devices in NetVault Backup domain. Before you proceed, make sure all the target NetVault Backup Clients are added to the NetVault Backup Server.

This section includes the following topics:
