Updating Tape Library Information
You can update tape library information by using Rescan on the Libraries tab in
the Management task area. The Rescan operation performs the following tasks:
• Checks for new tape libraries and stand-alone tape drives attached to the DPM server.
• Refreshes the state of all tape libraries and stand-alone tape drives attached to the DPM
server.
Rescan can take several minutes to complete. Any library jobs that begin during rescan will be
queued until rescan completes. If a library job is already in progress when rescan begins, the
rescan operation fails.
If a new tape library or stand-alone tape drive is identified during rescan, DPM adds its
information to the Libraries tab.
If you installed a new tape library or stand-alone tape drive on the DPM server and it is not
identified during rescan, try the following steps to troubleshoot the problem:
1. Ensure that the tape library and drives are properly connected.
