Using Your Tape Gateway
NovaStor DataCenter/Network requires drivers from the driver manufacturers. You can use the Windows
drivers, but you must first deactivate other backup applications.
Configuring NovaStor DataCenter/Network to Work with VTL Devices
When configuring your VTL devices to work with NovaStor DataCenter/Network version 6.4 or 7.1, you
might see an error message that reads External Program did not exit correctly. This issue
requires a workaround, which you need to perform before you continue.
You can prevent the issue by creating the workaround before you start configuring your VTL devices.
For information about how to create the workaround, see Resolving an "External Program Did Not Exit
Correctly" Error (p. 111).
To configure NovaStor DataCenter/Network to work with VTL devices
1. In the NovaStor DataCenter/Network Admin console, choose Media Management, and then choose
Storage Management.
2. In the Storage Targets menu, open the context menu (right-click) for Media Management Servers,
choose New, and choose OK to create and prepopulate a storage node.
If you see an error message that says External Program did not exit correctly, resolve
the issue before you continue. This issue requires a workaround. For information about how to
resolve this issue, see Resolving an "External Program Did Not Exit Correctly" Error (p. 111) in the
NovaStor documentation.
Important
This error occurs because the element assignment range from AWS Storage Gateway for
storage drives and tape drives exceeds the number that NovaStor DataCenter/Network
allows.
3. Open the context (right-click) menu for the storage node that was created, and choose New Library.
4. Choose the library server from the list. The library list is automatically populated.
5. Name the library and choose OK.
6. Choose the library to display all the properties of the Storage Gateway virtual tape library.
7. In the Storage Targets menu, expand Backup Servers, open the context (right-click) menu for the
server, and choose Attach Library.
8. In the Attach Library dialog box that appears, choose the LTO5 media type, and then choose OK.
