Before You Start

Before beginning the tape library setup process, use the Detect utility to ensure DPX can communicate with a medium changer and that the medium changer status is zero.

The recommended starting point is Unknown Medium Changer disabled, which displays in the Windows Device Manager. If Detect can communicate with the medium changer, the status is zero. For each Detect attempt, the goal is to validate that Detect can see a medium changer and that the status is zero. If those states are not displayed, make a change and run Detect again.

Using Detect consists of the following main steps:

• Prepare to Use Detect

• Run Detect
