Configuring Shared Storage Option devices in NetBackup

Cohesity recommends that you use the Configure drives and robots wizard to configure shared drives. The wizard guides you through the steps to configure shared drives.

To start the Configure drives and robots wizard

  1. On the left select Storage > Tape storage.
  2. On the top right, select Actions > Configure storage devices.

Note:

You must restart the NetBackup Device Manager (ltid) on all the servers that share tape drives whenever you perform the following actions:

- Configure the shared drives to a newly added media server.

- Add or remove the shared drives paths.
