With central device management, you can manage devices for all Arcserve Backup servers in a domain from the primary server by using the Device Manager. The Device Manager provides information about storage devices that are connected to a server, the media in these devices, and the status of these devices. In addition, the Device Manager also allows you to format, erase, inventory, import, and export media. With central device management, all of these functions can be performed from the primary server for devices connected to the primary server or any of the associated member servers.
Arcserve Backup will now automatically detect the existence of a tape library and configure it. Therefore you no longer need to run the separate Tape Library Option Setup utility and no longer need to reconfigure a library after replacing bad drives or adding new drives. In addition, library settings can be changed on the fly without stopping the Tape Engine for such tasks as cleaning tapes or specifying cleaning settings.
SAN configuration is now tied to Arcserve Backup domain configuration, eliminating the need to run SAN configuration. Libraries are automatically detected as “shared” on the fly at the Arcserve Backup domain primary server. Domain primary servers can have both SAN and non-SAN domain member servers.
From a central location on the primary server you can create an FSD on any member server without having to stop and start the tape engine.
