USING A USB DEVICE
You can plug a USB device into a USB port on the LCM for transferring
information such as backing up or restoring the library configuration,
backing up or restoring the MLM and DLM databases, importing or
exporting BlueScale encryption keys, gathering log files, or to upload
BlueScale software updates to the library.
One Spectra Logic USB device is shipped with the library, but most types
of USB devices work.
Continuing Backups While Using a USB Device
When using a USB device, keep the following requirements in mind:
Important
After connecting a USB device, allow time for the device to mount before
continuing.
Important
Do not leave a USB device connected to the library control module indefinitely,
unless specifically directed to do so by Spectra Logic Technical Support.
Important
The library only recognizes FAT-formatted, not NTFS-formatted, USB devices.
If you are unable to access a USB device from the library, remove it and use a
different one.
