Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Adding a library resource

1. In the server’s Administration interface, click Devices.
2. Open the Storage Nodes folder in the navigation tree.
3. Right-click the storage node to which the device is to be configured, and select Configure All Libraries (which is available from many of the menus throughout the Devices task). This opens a wizard that can configure all detected libraries, except those explicitly excluded in the library exclusion list during configuration.
   NOTE:If Configure All Libraries is started from the server folder instead of from the Storage Node folder, then all storage nodes on the NetWorker server are automatically selected for configuration in the wizard.

   The Configure All Libraries wizard appears. This lets you step through library configuration, including this input (some of which is filled in by default):

   • Library type (select SCSI/NDMP).

   • An NDMP remote username and a password are required for an NDMP device that acts as a storage node.

   • Adjust the Enable New Device option, if necessary.

   • Current server sharing policy. Use maximal sharing with Dynamic Drive Sharing (DDS). By default, the sharing policy is displayed as “server default,” which is maximal sharing.

   • Storage nodes to which libraries can be configured (select a storage node to see its details). If the appropriate storage node is not listed, click Create a New Storage Node.

   • When creating a new storage node, replace the default value in the Name field with the fully-qualified domain name or short name of the new storage node.

   • Update storage node properties, if required.

4. After specifying the required information, click Start Configuration. The configuration window displays a message that the Configure All Libraries process has started. The status of the configuration activity can be viewed by the Monitoring > Log screen.
5. When the configuration is complete, click Finish to close the configuration wizard. If problems occur during configuration, you can click the Back button on the configuration window to adjust the settings.
