Opening and closing entry/exit ports

To open or close an entry/exit port:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices.
2
In the list of devices, click the icon to open the library, and then click the Ports link or the corresponding Manage Ports button to open the Port Browser.
3
To open an entry/exit port, select the port in the Ports table, and click Open Port.
When you issue the Open Port command, NetVault Backup puts a software lock on library so that it knows that the port door is going to be opened.
4
To close the port after placing a tape, select Close Port. If you have placed a cleaning tape in the port, select Close port with cleaning media.
When you issue the Close Port command, NetVault Backup knows that you have physically closed the port door, and it removes the lock on the library.

Unloading tapes from entry/exit ports

To unload a tape from an entry/exit port:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices.
2
In the list of devices, click the icon to open the library, and then click the Ports link or the corresponding Manage Ports button to open the Port Browser.
3
In the Ports table, select the slot that contains the tape, and click Unload from Port.
The tape is moved to a drive or slot:
•
If the media barcode is available in the NetVault Database, the tape is loaded to a free slot.
•
If the tape does not have a barcode or the barcode information is not available in the NetVault Database, the tape is loaded to a drive to read the header.

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.

To remove a tape drive:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices.
2
In the list of devices, click the icon to open the library that contains the drive, and then click the drive or the corresponding Manage Drive icon .
3
On the Tape Drive Management page, click Remove, and then in the confirmation dialog box, click OK.
