Hardware detection

Already configured devices

In this list are displayed the physical tape drives and libraries already configured in Arkeia Network Backup. They are here only as a reminder.

Detected devices

Choose the Media Server you wish to query from the drop list. Click on Launch the detection to start the detection process. As a result of the detection operation, the list of detected tape drives and libraries will be displayed. For each detected device, the appropriate associated Arkeia model is indicated. When Arkeia Network Backup cannot be sure which Arkeia model is the best one, a list of suggestions is proposed. In the case Arkeia Network Backup cannot identify a device at all, the "Unknown model" string is displayed.

The screen makes it possible to immediately create an Arkeia object corresponding to a detected device. To do that, just select a detected device and click on the Create button. For tape drives, it is also possible to share the drive in a SAN.
