3-2 Endurance FTvirtual Server Administrator’s Guide
Introduction
The Endurance Device Redirector is the utility you use to define the redirected devices
accessible to the FTvirtual Server environment. Using a graphical user interface, you define the
redirected devices and their mapping to physical devices located on the CoServers.
You can run the Endurance Device Redirector from a CoServer booted in either Online
Endurance CoServer Mode or Offline Endurance CoServer Mode, from the FTvirtual Server, or
from any remote host. After Endurance software is installed, you must run the Endurance
Device Redirector to define the initial device settings for the FTvirtual Server devices.
You also use the Device Redirector to display device properties and to update device settings
after making any hardware changes to your Endurance Configuration. You update device
settings when you:
• Add and remove devices from the FTvirtual Server environment
• Replace a SCSI disk
• Replace medium changers, CD-ROMs, and tape drives
