Configure a RAID Device

Partitioning your library can provide you with a more flexible RAID configuration. For more information about partitioning a library, see Configure a Arcserve Backup Virtual Library.

After you start or stop and restart the Tape Engine, Arcserve Backup should automatically detect and configure your libraries with a default set of options. This section describes how to:

• Configure a new RAID device.
• Modify an existing RAID device.

To configure a RAID device

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

   The Device Configuration Welcome dialog opens.

2. From Device Configuration Welcome dialog, select RAID Device and click Next.

   The Configure RAID Devices dialog opens.

3. You can perform any of the following actions from the Configure RAID Devices dialog:
   • Create a new RAID device.
   • Delete an existing RAID device.
   • Change properties, such as RAID level.
   • Assign a device to an existing RAID device.
