With CommVault Simpana, you must add an NDMP library to detect tape devices attached to an PowerScale cluster before you can backup data to those devices.

  1. Add the CommVault Simpana server to the configuration.
    1. In the CommCell Browser, click Storage > Library and Drive.
    2. In the Select MediaAgents window, add the Simpana server you are currently using, and then click OK.
  2. Detect NDMP devices attached to the cluster.
    1. In the Library and Drive Configuration window, click Start > Detect/Configure Devices.
    2. Click NDMP Devices.
    3. Click OK.
    4. In the Select NDMP Servers to Detect window, add the PowerScale cluster you want to backup data from, and then click OK. The system informs you that library services are stopped during the detection process.
    5. Click Yes.
  3. After the detection process is complete, close the Log window.
  4. In the Library and Drive Configuration window, select the media changer that controls the tape drives that you want to back up data to.
    You can view the name of the media changer by right-clicking the media changer and then clicking Properties.
