Change Disk-Based Devices

Arcserve Backup lets you change a disk-based device name, description, and data or index file locations (deduplication devices only). However, you may not modify the device's group or tape names here.

Note: The following procedure applies to File System and Deduplication Devices.

To change disk-based devices

1. From the Arcserve Backup Manager Console, launch Device Configuration.

   The Device Configuration screen opens.

2. Select Disk-Based Devices and click Next.

   The Login Server screen opens.

3. Specify the domain name, primary server name, and authentication type.

   Enter your user name and password and click Next.

   Specify the server on which the disk-based device you wish to change is connected and click Next.

   The Disk-Based Device Configuration screen opens.

4. From the appropriate branch of the tree, click the device you wish to change to select it.

   For File System Devices, you may change the Device Name, Description or Data File Location.

   For Deduplication Devices, you may change the Device Name, Description, Data File or Index File Locations.

   Note: You cannot change the Group and Tape Names from this screen. Use Device Group Configuration to change the Group Name.

   

5. Specify new security settings. If you changed remote locations for the Data File or Index File Locations, click Security and provide the required User Name, Domain and Password. Retype the password to confirm.
6. Click Next.
7. Click Exit to leave Device Configuration if you are done modifying devices.
