To change the drive status, map or unmap drives, display library drives, and remove a library, use the following options.

-servername

Specifies the name of the NetVault Server that administers the job.

This option is required when a remote server administers the job. It can be omitted when a local server administers the job. The server name is case‑sensitive.

-libraryname

Specifies the name library that you want to modify. The library name is mandatory.

-online

Brings a drive back online. Use the “DRIVE <drive_number>” option to specify the target drive.

-offline

Takes a drive offline. Use the “DRIVE <drive_number>” option to specify the target drive.

-remove

Removes a drive. Use the “DRIVE <drive_number>” option to specify the target drive.

-map

Maps a drive to the appropriate LSM, Panel and Drive. Use the “DRIVE <drive_number>” option to specify the target drive. You can also use the optional ‑name option can be used to specify a drive name.

Example:

To add a drive or shared drive to an existing library configuration, use the following options.

Specifies the name of the target server.

-libraryname

Specifies the name library that you want to modify.

-drivepath

Specifies the name or path of the drive that you want to add. Depending on the drive type, the drive path can be a VTL directory or SCSI target.

You can use the nvscandrives utility to obtain a list of available drives on a local or remote NetVault Client. The output of this command provides the drive path as it appears in the NetVault WebUI. For more information, see nvscandrives.
