Adding a tape group

In the following example, someone has setup SCO ARCserve/Open so that it has two tape groups called GROUP1 and GROUP2. You want to add your own tape groups called LOCAL and REMOTE.

Follow these directions to add tape groups:

  1. Make sure you have root or root equivalent privileges.

    You must have logged in as root before starting SCO ARCserve/Open or have typed su to become super user before starting SCO ARCserve/Open.

  2. Click the Device Group Configuration button.

    The Device Group Configuration screen appears.

  3. Click Add.

  4. Enter a group name then click OK.

  5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 to add more groups.

  6. If you are finished adding tape drives to groups, click Config to exit the Device Group Configuration screen and save the new settings.

    Config writes your new tape group configuration to SCO ARCserve/Open's tapesvr.cfg file and causes the Tape Server to re-start. Refer to ``Additional information about tape group configuration'' for more information about SCO ARCserve/Open's tapesvr.cfg file.
