Assign Devices

You can manually or automatically assign drives to your libraries. Assigning a drive to a library allows Arcserve Backup to recognize the drive’s existence within the library.

Usually the manufacturer configures a library in such a way that the first library drive has the lowest SCSI ID number and the last library drive has the highest SCSI ID number.

Note: This is not always the case. Refer to the documentation that came along with your library for information on how its drives are configured.

In order to automatically assign devices in multi-devices library, use the Auto Config feature.

To manually assign a drive to a library, highlight the drive you want to assign from the Available Devices list and the library in which the drive should reside from the Library Devices list then use the Assign button to move the drive to the library.

To un-assign a drive from a library, use the Remove button after you highlight the drive in Library Devices list.

To go to the next step of configuration, click Next. The Assign Cleaning Tape screen appears.
