Configuring Backup Devices
Chapter 2 21
3. Boot the system to have the device recognized by the system.
4. Configure the device, as described in the following sections, so that
you can use it with Data Protector.
5. Prepare the media that you want to use with your backups. On how to
format media, refer to “Formatting Media” on page 108.
A default media pool is used with each device so that you do not have
to create one. If you want to create your own media pool, refer to
“Creating a Media Pool” on page 102.
Figure 2-1 shows the relationship between the backup specification,
devices, and media pools. The devices are referred to in the backup
specification, while each device is linked to a default media pool. This
media pool can be changed in the backup specification.

Robotics
Drivers
On Windows, disable the Removable Storage Service
or Windows medium changer (robotics) driver before
you configure the robotics device with Data Protector.
For detailed steps, refer to the online Help index
keyword “robotics drivers”. For further information,
refer to Appendix B of the HP OpenView Storage Data
Protector Installation and Licensing Guide.
Cartridge
Memory
If your backup device is connected to a Windows
system and uses media with Cartridge Memory, make
sure that your SCSI II card supports execution of
16-byte CDB SCSI II commands. On the UNIX and
Novell platforms, you need a tape driver which
supports the respective SCSI II commands.
