NetWorker Management Console:Device Configuration Product Overview August 2005
Email alias: devgui Keith LoPresto Lai Fong Ho Minh Chau Mu Chai Pallapotu Ramesh Device Configuration Development Team
Agenda • Overview and Benefits • Limitations • Installation Requirements • Web Browser Requirements • Architecture – Process Interaction • Device Configuration GUI • Launch Device Configuration GUI • Add Storage Node • Auto Configure SCSI/NDMP Libraries • Monitor Status • Auto Configure Silo Libraries • Re-configure a Library: Add & Remove Devices • Scan for Devices • Custom Configure a Library • Configure Stand-alone Tape Drive • Add Stand-alone Device (File, ADV_File and Tape) • Delete Stand-alone Device • Auto Configuration Failure and Common Causes • Troubleshooting • Preview: Post Keystone Beta Devices GUI
Overview and Benefits • Problem • No Graphical User Interface (GUI) for configuring and re-configuring devices to NetWorker • This feature solves the problem by: • Providing a GUI for auto configuring libraries within NetWorker • Providing a GUI for re-configuring NetWorker libraries
Limitations • Only support auto configuring SCSI, NDMP and STL Silo library types • Does not support auto configuring RSM and AlphaStor library types - use jbconfig CLI to configure RSM and AlphaStor libraries • Does not support auto configuring library which does not return its devices’ serial number - use “sn –a b.t.l” CLI to verify that the library does not return its devices’ serial number - use jbconfig CLI to configure libraries which do not return serial numbers • Does not support auto configuring NDMP library on NDMP Tape Server running at NDMP Protocol version 2. - use jbconfig CLI to configure NDMP libraries on NDMP Tape Server running at NDMP Protocol version 2.
