Devices & Pools

Devices

Storage devices (also simply referred to as “devices”) are physical or virtual drives on which media volumes, such as tape cartridges, are processed. Devices are grouped in clusters.

Below is a sample Devices view.

You can control this view by ordering items by Name, Device Count, Type, or Description, ascending or descending. Note also the Items per page value which can be useful when managing the display.
