Task Map: Configuring Storage Devices for Archiving

The following table shows the procedures for configuring storage devices for archiving.

Task
Description
More Information
Create list of devices
Take an inventory of your devices to configure.
Add tape devices
Perform this task for each tape drive that you want to add to the SAM-QFS environment.
Add tape drive interface target IDs and LUNs
Perform this task if your tape drives are attached through a SCSI or FC interface.
Add libraries or magneto-optical drives
Perform this task if you have any magneto-optical drives, SCSI-attached automated libraries, or FC-attached automated libraries that you want to include in your SAM-QFS environment.
Verify configured devices
Verify that you have all of your devices properly configured.
Enable the storage device configuration
Reboot the system so that your changes take effect.
Create parameters files
Create parameter files for the network attached automated libraries.
