Marking media for re-use

To manually mark a piece of media for re-use:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices.
2
In the list of drive/slot, click the drive/slot in which the piece of media resides, and click Re-use.
3
In the confirmation dialog, click OK.
4
When a piece of media is manually marked for re-use, NetVault will retain its media label and group associations. To reuse such media, you must set the Reuse Media option on the Target tab to either Any or With Same Group Label as Target Media. NetVault will overwrite the existing data on the media when they are re-used.
 
* 
NOTE: The media re-use option does not work for the NetVault SmartDisk devices. The NetVault SmartDisk devices use a process called Garbage Collection which finds and removes the chunks that are no longer in use from the chunk store and reclaims the disk space.

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 domain. In a different NetVault Domain, you must scan the tape to access the backups.

To remove a tape drive:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices.
2
In the list of devices, locate and click the library that contains the drive.
3
Click Modify.
4
On the Edit Device page, click the drive to be removed.
5
In the Selected Drives area, click Remove Drive.
-OR-
Click the applicable drive and then click Remove.
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 Server, Client, or Filers), but the library arm changer remains under the control of one NetVault Client. Each device that is to be shared by more than one NetVault Client uses a Dynamically Shared Device (DSD) license.

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

IMPORTANT: Do not execute any changes for a drive while it is actively being used. All jobs that use the drive must be inactive before any changes are implemented.

This section includes the following topics:

•
Adding shared drives to non- shared library using the semi- automatic method
•
Adding shared drives to non-shared library manually
•
Sharing standalone drives

Adding shared drives to non- shared library using the semi- automatic method

To add the shared drives to a non-shared library using the semi-automatic method:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices.
2
In the list of devices, locate and click the applicable library.
3
Click Modify.
4
On the Edit Device page, locate, and click the applicable library.
5
Click Scan for shared drives.
 
* 
NOTE: At this time NetVault probes all NetVault Clients in the clients list for devices that match the serial numbers of those that have already been added.
6
Click Save.
The library will be added and listed in the Library Configuration area on the Edit Device page. The status will change to online when the library initialization process completes.
