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	Create or find the device filename for a device
Systems	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	Provide a SCSI II address and load the driver that
Systems	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.
