Create an Autochanger Storage Resource in Director (DIR)
In the left menu, click: Configuration –> Director –> Storage.
Click the “+” sign to add a new Storage resource in the Director
Fill in the fields:
Storage Name: You may use the same name as was configured in the SD for the Autochanger device. e.g.: QuantumLib1
Description: Leave blank, or put something descriptive here. It is not parsed. e.g.: Quantum Library 1 - LTO6
Address: This should be an IP address or, preferably a FQDN of your server running the SD. Do not use localhost or 127.0.0.1 here
Password: This is the SD password determined in this step
Device: This must match the name used for the Autochanger created in the SD. e.g.: QuantumLib1
Media Type: This must match the Media Type of the drive device(s) in the SD. e.g.: QuantumLib1-LTO6
Allow Compression: Un-check this for tape drive devices since they should use hardware compression
Autochanger: If the name defined on the field Storage Name above gets listed, select it, otherwise, select “yes”
Click on “Limits” to expand this section:
Maximum Concurrent Jobs: Set this to at least the number of drive devices in the Autochanger
Leave everything else alone in this “Add Storage” dialog box for now
At the top of the “Add Storage” dialog box, click the “+ Add” and you should see this new QuantumLib1 autochanger in your Storages listing.
If auto-commit is not enabled, click on the “Bell” icon at the top right.
Click on the “Commit & Reload” button.
