Create Drive Device(s) in the Storage Daemon (SD)

In the left menu, click: Configuration –> Storage Daemon –> Devices
- Click the “+” sign to add a new device.
- Click the “Set optimal LTO Settings” button in the “Actions” box on the left <- This is important. Do not skip this step.
- Fill in the fields:
  - Name: Give the device a name that includes the name of our Library. e.g.: QuantumLib1_Drv0
  - Description: Leave blank, or put something descriptive here. It is not parsed. e.g.: Quantum Library 1 - LTO6 - Drive 0
  - Media Type: Can be any test string (no spaces or special characters), but it must be unique to the Library that this device is in. This Media Type must be the same for all of the devices in a Library. e.g.: QuantumLib1-LTO6
  - Device Type: Select “Tape” from the drop-down menu
  - Archive Device: Set this to the by-id name we identified above for the /dev/nst0 device. e.g.: /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-350223344ab000100-nst
  - Autochanger: Check this box
  - Click the arrow next to “Tape Settings” to expand this section
  - Drive Index: Set this first drive device’s index to 0, the next drive device to 1, and so on
  - At the top of the “Add Device” dialog box, click the “+ Add” and you should see this new QuantumLib1_Drv0 device in your device listing
  - Repeat these steps for each drive device, then continue with the next steps to commit the workset and reload the Director configuration.
If auto-commit is not enabled, click on the “Bell” icon at the top right.
Click on the “Commit” button.
You will see a “Services restart/reload” dialog box showing the Storage component and a check box under “Restart”. Check this “Restart” box, then click “Restart/Reload” just below and confirm the operation.
