Update Device Configuration

You can update the library configuration with changes to tape drives by using the Enterprise Module Configuration Wizard on the Arcserve Backup server. Before you reconfigure your library, you must remove all tape volumes from the tape drives in the tape library. When you configure the device, all the tape volumes in the tape library are read and initialized.

Note: Removing the tape volumes from the tape drives simplifies the device configuration. Since the Enterprise Tape Library 3494 can be shared among multiple backup servers on the network, tape volumes may be assigned to other backup servers. Not all tape volumes are assigned to the Arcserve Backup server.

To update the library configuration with tape drive changes

1. Log on with administrator privileges to Arcserve Backup on the computer running the option.
2. Click Start, Programs, CA, ARCserve Backup, Enterprise Module Configuration.

   The Enterprise Module Configuration dialog opens.

3. Click IBM 3494 or StorageTek ACSLS.

   A message appears reminding you to remove tape volumes from all tape drives.

4. Remove tape volumes from all tape drives and click Yes to continue.

   The <IBM 3494 or StorageTek ACSLS> Library Configuration dialog opens.

5. Select the manual or automatic library configuration method and configure your library.
6. Click Next.

   The Drive Configuration dialog opens.

7. Click Next.

   This completes updating library configuration.
