Define Drive/Tape Slots
On the Library Configuration screen, select the Define Drive/Tape Slots button. When you do so, a Define
Library Drive and Tape Slots screen similar to the following example will appear.
The slot positions referred to are the physical slot or element location that the library uses to
reference the positions of tapes and drives. The location you provide will determine what tape position
is assigned for each tape used with SBAdmin. In the above example, SBAdmin’s tape number “1” for
drive number “1” is referenced by the library as slot position (or element address) “32”.
If the library contains more than one drive, you may create a separate library name
for each drive (allowing different backups to be performed simultaneously) or
multiple drives may be configured with a single library name (allowing the drives to
be used concurrently by the same backup process).
In either case, you must be sure that you do not define the same tape slot positions
for both drives! When doing so, SBAdmin will attempt to use the same tapes in both
drives and will fail.
Be sure to define the tape slots for both drives if using a 2-drive library. Never enter the same slot position
in more than one field else SBAdmin will try to use the same tape for different volume numbers of the same
backup.
