Configuring Arcserve to Work with VTL Devices
After you have connected your virtual tape library (VTL) devices to your client, you scan for your devices.
To scan for VTL devices
1. In the Arcserve Backup Manager, choose the Utilities menu.
2. Choose Media Assure and Scan.
Loading Tapes into a Media Pool
When the Arcserve software connects to your gateway and your tapes become available, Arcserve
automatically loads your tapes. If your gateway is not found in the Arcserve software, try restarting the
tape engine in Arcserve.
To restart the tape engine
1. Choose Quick Start, choose Administration, and then choose Device.
2. On the navigation menu, open the context (right-click) menu for your gateway and choose an
import/export slot.
3. Choose Quick Import and assign your tape to an empty slot.
4. Open the context (right-click) menu for your gateway and choose Inventory/Offline Slots.
5. Choose Quick Inventory to retrieve media information from the database.
If you add a new tape, you need to scan your gateway for the new tape to have it appear in Arcserve. If
the new tapes don't appear, you must import the tapes.
To import tapes
1. Choose the Quick Start menu, choose Back up, and then choose Destination tap.
2. Choose your gateway, open the context (right-click) menu for one tape, and then choose Import/
Export Slot.
