Introduction to Manual Tape Library Configuration

This chapter provides an overview of how to manually configure a tape library for DPX after the media changer device file is installed. The detailed instructions can be found in Chapter 12: Configuring Devices. Manual configuration is not needed for tape libraries that were successfully set up using Automatic Setup (Process A). However, Automatic Setup does not configure media pools, assign media, or define backup jobs, all of which are also summarized at the end of this topic.

All the manual configuration steps are performed from the management console.
