Data Protector Support for Non-Supported Libraries (Oxymoron)



How to configure an unsupported Tape Library with Data Protector

The first step would be to consult the Data Protector support matrix to determine if you are using an unsupported tape library.  You can also check /opt/omni/scsitab text file to see if your tape library and tape drives are listed in this file.  The scsitab file can be updated and updates can be found on HP's site for your specific version of Data Protector.  http://www.hp.com/go/bizsupport




External control
When using the Data Protector "Next Step Wizard" select "Configure New Devices" option and select the device type as "External Control".


 








External control is a means to control libraries not known to Data Protector. If Data Protector does not support a particular device, a user can write a script/program, that will run the robotic control to load a medium from a particular slot into the specified drive. It is possible to configure a library as an external control by referring to a special script.
