HP Data Protector Operations Guide

scsitab file
It is recommended that you let Data Protector configure backup devices automatically. Data
Protector can automatically configure most common backup devices, including libraries. You still
need to prepare the media for a backup session, but Data Protector determines the name, policy,
media type, media policy, and the device file or SCSI address of the device, and also configures
the drive and slots.
You can also configure a backup device manually. How you configure a backup device depends
on the device type. You can use devices that are not listed as supported in the HP Data Protector
product announcements, software notes, and references. Unsupported devices are configured
using the
scsitab file.
Modifying the
scsitab file is not supported.
To use a device that is not listed as supported in the HP Data Protector product announcements,
software notes, and references, download the latest software package for the
scsitab file from
the HP Data Protector web site at
http://www.hp.com/go/dataprotector.
After you have downloaded the package, follow the installation procedure provided with it.
The
scsitab file is located on the system to which the device is connected, on the following
location:
HP-UX and Solaris systems:
/opt/omni/scsitab
Other UNIX systems: /
opt/omni/scsitab
Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008:
C:\Program Files\OmniBack\scsitab
Other Windows systems:
C:\Program Data\OmniBack\scsitab
If you still receive the same error while configuring your device, contact HP Support to find when
the device will be supported.
