HP StoreEver TapeAssure Software - Manual (Page 22)

The Startup screen lets you select the initial scan mode and the SCSI I/O mode (if more than one
option is available).
Scan mode
When L&TT starts, it performs a device scan to identify all the devices connected to the computer,
either directly or through a SAN. In large SAN environments, a full scan can take a long time. The
first time L&TT is run, it must perform a full hardware scan (Hardware Scan option). After the full
hardware scan is finished, the results of the scan are automatically saved, so the next time L&TT
is started, the Saved/Manual Scan option can be used. If the Saved/Manual Scan option is
selected before a hardware scan is done, the list of available devices will be empty.
If you select Skip Device Scan, hardware is not scanned and the I/O Mode buttons are
disabled. With this mode, no devices will be listed on the main screen. Click the Re-scan button
in the main screen to scan the connected devices.
NOTE: If you previously selected the Skip this dialog in the future checkbox on the Startup screen,
L&TT performs a full hardware scan. To re-enable the Startup screen and change the scan option,
select Preferences from the Options menu. Check the Display initial dialog at startup
option and restart L&TT.
Select multiple devices to be scanned from the Saved/Manual Scan screen. In addition, automatically
save device selections and reuse them in a later session.
To access the Saved/Manual Scan screen, select the Saved/Manual Scan option and click
Continue on the Startup screen.
NOTE: If I/O mode is Ethernet, Saved/Manual Scan is not available.
Using the Saved/Manual Scan screen
The left panel of the Saved/Manual Scan screen displays the devices that were detected in the
last saved scan. If this list is incomplete (for example, if new hardware has been added since the
last scan), click Scan Hardware Now to rescan the system for new devices. If you want to manually
add a device to the list of devices to be scanned without performing a full hardware scan, click
Enter Address Manually.
Use the Select All, Remove All, Select, and Remove buttons to select devices. Selected devices are
displayed in the right panel of the screen, and only selected devices will be scanned and identified
by L&TT. Devices that are skipped will not be displayed in the device list on the L&TT main screen.
After selecting all of the devices that you want L&TT to scan and identify, click Continue to perform
the scan and proceed to the L&TT main screen. L&TT saves the list of selected devices so the next
time you start L&TT and display the Saved/Manual Scan screen, L&TT displays all of the previously
selected devices in the right panel.
