Configure Bweb to Manage an Autochanger and Its Drive Devices

  1. In the left menu, click: Storage and Media –> Tapes –> + Add Tape Library.

  2. Fill in the fields:

    • Name: Select the new “QuantumLib1” Autochanger from the drop-down list.

    • Pre-command: Leave blank (if you are connecting to the remote SD, then setup the key-based ssh authentication in between the Director and the SD host and place “ssh root@<SH_host>” to be executed as the pre-command)

    • mtx command: Leave as “/usr/sbin/mtx”

    • Device: We need to use its “by-id” name “/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-SSTK_L700_XYZZY_A” as identified on the SD host

    • Drives:

      • Locate the new drive device that was created (QuantumLib1_Drv0), click the check box next to its name and set an index (starting at 0) that matches the index of the drive device that was previously created in the SD configuration.

  3. Click save. You will be returned the the Bweb “Main Configuration” page.

  4. The new QuantumLib1 Autochanger should now be listed under Storage and Media –> Tapes.

  5. In the left menu, click: Storage and Media –> Tapes –> Storage Overview, choose the new “QuantumLib1” Autochanger from the drop-down list.

  6. This page shows a listing of the QuantumLib1 Autochanger with tape media and their barcodes listed. On the right side, the drives in the library are listed.
