Using Arcserve Backup UNIX and Linux Data Mover › Create File System Devices

Create File System Devices

Arcserve Backup automatically detects the presence of data mover servers after the servers are registered with the primary server. At such time, you can create file system devices (FSDs).

To create file system devices

1. Open the Arcserve Backup Manager Console.

   From the Navigation Bar, expand Administration and click Device Manager.

   The Device Manager window opens.

2. From the server directory tree, right-click the data mover server and click Configure Disk Based Devices on the pop-up menu.

   The Disk Device Configuration dialog opens.

3. On the Disk Device Configuration dialog, click UNIX/Linux Data Mover File System Device.

   Click Add and complete the following fields:

   • Device Name--Specify the name of the device.
   • Description--(Optional) Specify a description of the device.
   • Data File Location--Specify the full path to the FSD. For example:

     /tmp/FSD/1
     

   • Group Name--(Optional) Specify the name of the group to be associated with this device.

   Note: Repeat this step to add more FSDs.

4. Click Next and follow the on-screen procedures to complete the configuration.
