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.

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
