Assigning a tape drive to a group

You created two new tape groups called LOCAL and REMOTE. Now you want to assign a tape drive to each group.

Follow these directions to assign tape drives to a 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 on the name of the group and the drive that you would like to add to this group.

  4. Click Assign to make this drive part of the group.


    Repeat steps 2 through 4 for all the tape drives that you want to group.

  5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 to assign more drives.

  6. If you are finished assigning drives, 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.
