How to Add a Library

For information about the types of libraries that you can add to the configuration, see About Supported Libraries and Drives.


Note - If you are adding one or more STK ACSLS (Sun StorageTek Automated Cartridge System Library Software) libraries and are also adding one or more libraries that are attached directly to the current server, complete this procedure first for the STK ACSLS libraries and then go back and complete the procedure for the directly attached libraries. This sequence is necessary for proper operation of the system.


Before You Begin

Before adding a library to the browser interface, you must connect the library directly either to the current server, or through the network. For more information, see the Sun Storage Archive Manager Installation and Upgrade Guide.

Before you can add a network attached library through this wizard, ensure that the parameter file for the library exists and that the drives are ordered correctly in the parameter file.

  1. From the Manage Hosts menu or the Managed Hosts page, choose the name of the server to which you want to add a library.
  2. From the navigation tree, choose Archive Media.

    The Tape Library Summary page is displayed.

  3. Click Add.

    The Add Library wizard is displayed.

  4. Specify the type of library you want to add and click Next.
  5. Enter information about the library as requested by the wizard.

    The information requested varies depending on which type of library you select.

  6. Review the specified information for the new library.

    If you are satisfied, click Finish. Otherwise, click Previous to make changes.
