Adding a tape drive path

Usually, you add a tape drive path when you add a drive to NetBackup. Use the following procedure to add a drive path.

To add a tape drive path

  1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand Media and Device Management > Devices > Drives.
  2. Select Add a New Drive. In the dialog box, click Add.
  3. In the Add Path dialog box, configure the properties for the drive path.

    The properties that you can specify depend on drive type, server platform, or NetBackup server type.

    See About SCSI reserve on drive paths.
