Devices Resource

Use the Devices resource to configure standalone devices. Enter the name of the device and the media type. Any devices you add in the Devices resource are displayed in the Backup administrator program in the Devices display. For details on device configuration, see "Device Configuration" on page 57.

Jukeboxes Resource

You perform most of the necessary autochanger configuration with the jb_config command described in the Solstice Backup 5.1 Installation and Release Notes. After the jb_configcommand is completed, the configured options are displayed in the Jukeboxes resource of the administration program. The Jukeboxes resource displays the name of the autochanger, the model, control port pathnames, device pathnames, barcode label choices, and available slots that you originally created when you installed Backup .
The only changes you can make to your autochanger in the Jukeboxes resource are to the available slots, devices, and barcode label attributes. If you need to make additional changes, you must first delete the autochanger from the list, and then run the jb_configcommand again. For further details on these attributes, see "Autochanger Device Configuration" on page 58.
If your storage devices reside in a silo, see "Silo Support Module" on page 171 for information on the use of a silo with Backup.

Volume Labels

Before Backup can use a volume, you must first label it with a valid Backup label. Backup uses an internal volume label to identify the media it uses for backups, archives, and migration. Backup provides several preconfigured label templates for you to use to label your volumes. See "Label Template Resource" on page 25 for the preconfigured label template settings.
To label a volume, you must first mount it on a device. You can select the Mount speedbar button displayed in the main window of the nwadminprogram GUI, or you can issue the nsrmm -m command at the shell prompt.
