Configuring Backup Devices
Preparation of a backup device consists of connecting the device to the
system and knowing which of the (working) associated device files (SCSI
address) is to be used. To configure a device:
1. Connect the device to a computer. Refer to the documentation that
comes with the device.
2. Make sure that you have done the following:
UNIX
Systems
Create or find the device filename for a device
connected to a UNIX system. For detailed steps, refer
to the online Help index keyword “creating device
filenames” or “finding device filenames”. For further
information, refer to Appendix B of the HP OpenView
Storage Data Protector Installation and Licensing
Guide.
Windows
Systems
Provide a SCSI II address and load the driver that
will be used with a device connected to a Windows
system.
For tape drives, the Windows native tape driver can
be:
• unloaded (preferred) or
•loaded
The device filename depends on whether a
Windows native tape driver is used with a
particular tape drive.
On how to obtain the SCSI II address, refer to the
online Help index keyword “creating SCSI addresses”.
For further information, refer to Appendix B of the
HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Installation and
Licensing Guide.
