5. Add the SAN Device Paths to the Enterprise
Launch the management console.
Open the Configure Devices window by selecting the Configure tab at the top of the window, then selecting Devices from the task pane.
Select the first of the newly added tape drives, then click Add Device Path.
Complete the active fields in the Add Device Path dialog if they are available.
Device Path Name
Enter or accept the default name for the path. This is the name that is used to access this device through the node and ID you specify in the next two fields. On the management console, the SAN device path appears as device_path_name@logical_node_name.
Logical Node Name
Select the name of a node from which the device can be accessed, for example SALES_SERVER1. This node must have been previously defined through the Configure Enterprise function. The master server is recommended.
Device ID
For devices on Linux, enter the path to the device file. For example, for Linux, the first storage device is usually /dev/nst0. For each additional device, the number in the path increments, thus your second device would be /dev/nst1. For devices on supported versions of Windows, the first device is normally called \.\Tape0. For each additional device, the number in the ID increments (i.e., your second device is \.\Tape1). This information appears in Tape Devices in the Control Panel of the Windows node. Go to the Control Panel, select Tape Devices, choose the Properties tab, select the device, and click Properties. The Device ID is referred to as the Device Map.
