Assign Slots to a Group

Arcserve Backup lets you assign specific slots to a library group.

To assign slots to a library group

1. From the Administration menu in the Navigation Bar on the Arcserve Backup Manager Console, select Device Group Configuration.

   The Device Group Configuration Welcome dialog opens.

2. Click Next.

   The Login Page dialog opens.

3. Complete the required fields on the Login Page dialog and click Next.

   The Options dialog opens.

4. Select the server that you want to configure, click the Configure Groups option, and then click Next.

   The Device Group Configuration dialog opens. Library devices and their corresponding slots (available for assignment) display in the Available Devices list.

   

5. From the Available Devices list, select the slots that you want to assign to a group. You can select one available slot at a time, or you can select the library to assign all of its available slots to a group.
6. From the Groups list, select the group to which you want to assign the slot.
7. Click Assign.

   Arcserve Backup removes the slot from the Available Devices list and places it in the Groups list, below the group to which it was assigned.

8. Repeat Steps 5 through 7 to assign more slots to groups.

   Note: If there are no slots available, you can remove them from their currently assigned group to make them available to other groups. To do this, from the Groups list, select the slot that you want to make available to other groups and click Remove. The slot is now available to other groups. You can now perform Steps 5 through 7 to assign the slot to a different group.

9. Click Finish and then click Exit to exit Device Group Configuration.

   The slots are assigned to the library groups.
