6. Enter the SCSI and media handling details.
Figure 11: Enter SCSI and media handling details
SCSI library devices are large backup devices, also called autoloaders. They consist of a number
of media cartridges in the device‟s repository and can have multiple drives handling multiple
media at a time.
A typical library device has a SCSI ID (Windows) or a device file (UNIX) for each drive in the
device and one for the library‟s robotics, which moves media from slots to drives and back again.
For example, a library with four drives has five SCSI IDs, four for the drives and one for the
robotics.
A medium is stored in a slot in the device‟s repository. Data Protector assigns a number to each
slot, starting from one. When managing a library, you refer to the slots using their numbers.
Continue with the following steps:
7. Enter the SCSI address of the library robotics.
Note: This is dependent on which Interface Type has been selected. If NDMP Interface has been
selected, use the SCSI address as it appears on the NDMP host. For example, on the X9000 GUI
(Device ID, such as P_MSL_G3_Series_CZJ1030J0R), or as device file as it appears on the
NetApp CLI (such as mc4). If the SCSI Interface Type has been selected, enter the SCSI address for
the device robotic that is attached to the Client system.
8. In the Busy Drive Handling list, select the action Data Protector should take if the drive is busy.
9. Select SCSI Reserve/Release (robotics control).
10. Specify the slots for the device. Use a dash to enter slot ranges and then click Add. For example,
enter 1-3 and click Add to add slot 1, 2, and 3 all at once. Do not use letters or leading zeros.
11. In the Media Type drop-down list, select a media type for the device that you are configuring.
