Configuring Shared Storage Option devices in NetBackup

Veritas recommends that you use the Device Configuration Wizard to configure shared drives. The wizard guides you through the steps to configure shared drives.

Be sure to review the limitations of the wizard in the wizard help.

To start the Device Configuration Wizard

  1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand Media and Device Management.
  2. Click Configure Storage Devices.

Note:

You must restart the NetBackup Device Manager (ltid) on all the servers that share tape drives whenever you perform the following actions:

- Configure the shared drives to a newly added media server.

- Add or remove the shared drives paths.
