To delete a device

Click on Select to view the details for the required device and then click on Delete to delete it. You will be
prompted to confirm that this is what you wish to do.
WARNING!
All data on the device will be deleted.
Cartridges (Configuration)
Use this page to view and configure cartridge settings. The number of slots configured on the Devices
page for an autoloader determines the number of cartridge rows that are available to edit on this page;
tape drives have only one cartridge.
This is the name that is used to identify that device (autoloader or tape drive).
You may like to enter a name that identifies the host or backup job with which it
is associated.
This is where you define the number of slots that you require for your tape rotation
strategy. For autoloaders you can select a number between 8 and 24 from the
pull-down menu; each slot will initially be assigned a 200 GB cartridge. Tape
drives only have one cartridge, which is always assigned a 200 GB cartridge.
You can change the maximum size of the cartridge as long as it is blank. This
means that you can only change the value immediately after the device is created
and before it has been accessed by the backup application. See
(Configuration)" on page 67.
This is the emulation type used by the backup software. The default of 1x8 G2
Autoloader is correct for most applications. An alternative of D2DBS Generic is
available for certain applications. Consult your backup application technical
support information for further details.
If you have created an autoloader on an earlier version of the HP D2D Backup
System, it will have an emulation type of ThinStor. This emulation type does not
support mail slots and tape attach. If you want to connect a tape drive to the HP
D2D Backup System, you must change the emulation type. (Once changed, you
cannot revert to ThinStor.)
This is the Initiator Node Name of the host that will back up to this device
(autoloader or tape drive). It is provided automatically for the default autoloader
that is created when you run the Installation wizard on a host for a first time. But you
must enter it manually if you are creating a new device on this page. You can find
the name by running the iSCSI Initiator on the host and copying the Initiator Node
Name from the General tab. See "Manual driver installation" on page 51.
