iXOS-JUKEMAN 2.2 User Manual Pre.12/97254
1. If you chose to attach the corresponding device automatically on server
startup (in server.cfg either by direct editing or via the GUI), then the
JUKEMAN server does the necessary changes in the NT system to hide
the drive letters during the next reboot. Please note that this takes effect
only after a second reboot, since only then this changes get visible to the
operating system!
In case that you change the startup mode again, or if the server isn't able
to connect to the devices (which might be switched off for instance), the
so called claim established by the automatic attach will disappear again
after the second reboot.

and you want to hide this drive.
Then choose “Add value...” from the Edit menu and input as value the tar-
get id, where the first four characters are skipped, i.e. p2b0t2,0 in our ex-
ample.
Data type should be REG_DWORD and the corresponding value, which
must be supplied after OK should be 2 (with hex radix, which is the de-
fault).
You should then see an entry like
p2b0t2,0:REG_DWORD:0x2
in the right part of the window afterwards.
Please note:Using this option is a very powerful and thus dangerous ac-
tion. You will most probably forget what you did in some weeks time, and
this will give you (not to mention other users) a very hard time if you try to
