Configuring Backup Devices

Windows On Windows, disable the Removable Storage Service Robotics or Windows medium changer (robotics) driver before

Drivers 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 If your backup device is connected to a Windows

Memory 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.

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.
