the devices on the SAN before you configure the Shared Storage Option. If the
configuration does not work in the operating system, it does not work for the
Shared Storage Option.
For example, on Solaris systems you can use the mt -f tapename status
command to determine tape drive status.
■ For more information and examples, see the appropriate operating system
chapter in the NetBackup Device Configuration Guide.

Symantec recommends that you use the Device Configuration Wizard to configure
Shared Storage Option in NetBackup. Identifying devices when you configure
shared devices is difficult, and the wizard increases the likelihood of a successful
configuration.
With the Device Configuration Wizard, you should configure all shared drives
from one host (usually the master server). Launch the wizard only one time with
the current host set to the master server. You then indicate a list of media servers
or NetBackup SAN media servers (in the Device Hosts screen). The wizard
configures devices on all of the media servers you selected, and these hosts read
the shared configuration information.
