General Device Configuration Sequence

Use the following general sequence when configuring your devices.

1. Physically connect the storage devices to the media server and perform any hardware

configuration steps specified by the device or operating system vendor.

See the appropriate chapter of this guide for your media server or SAN media server

platform.

2. For NetBackup to recognize and communicate with the connected devices, and for

device discovery to discover devices, NetBackup issues SCSI pass-thru commands to

the devices.

The server platforms supported by NetBackup as servers may require special

operating system configuration changes. This may include changes needed for device

discovery and other configuration requirements for devices to be recognized.

Create any required system device files for the drives and robotic control. Device files

are created automatically on Windows and on some UNIX platforms.

See the appropriate chapter of this guide for your media server or SAN media server

platform.

3. Use one of the available Media Manager configuration interfaces to add the storage

devices to your Media Manager configuration.

See the VERITAS NetBackup Media Manager System Administrator’s Guide for UNIX and

Linux or the VERITAS NetBackup Media Manager System Administrator’s Guide for

Windows for instructions.

Configuration Cautions

Observe the following cautions:

◆ Starting with release 4.5, NetBackup uses SCSI reserve/release to improve data

integrity. SCSI reserve/release operates at the SCSI target level and depends on the

fibre-to-scsi bridge hardware working correctly.

The use of SCSI reserve/release is enabled by default, but can be disabled using the

NetBackup Administration Console configuration GUI. See the Reference Topics

appendix of the VERITAS NetBackup Media Manager System Administrator’s Guide for

UNIX and Linux or the VERITAS NetBackup Media Manager System Administrator’s

Guide for Windows for information about the NetBackup use of SCSI reserve/release.

◆ VERITAS does not recommend or support the use of single-ended to differential SCSI

converters on Media Manager controlled devices. You may encounter problems if you

use these converters.
