Features” (page 12) and “Licensing” (page 12) for more information.
1. Select the device in the list to display its details and then click on Edit.
2. Amend details as appropriate and click Update to apply them.
To add/remove drives
1. Click Add/Remove drive.
2. The maximum number of drives is shown, below which you can edit the Number of Drives.
3. Click OK. If you provide an invalid value the text box will be surrounded in a red border.
To delete a library (administrators only)
Select the required device and then click Delete on the Device Details tab to delete it. You will be
prompted to confirm deletion.
WARNING! All data on the device will be deleted. The library's deduplication store is also deleted.
It may take some time to delete all the files and free space on the HP StoreOnce Backup system.
If Secure Erase is enabled for this store, this data will be deleted securely.
Emulation types for tape devices
HP StoreOnce Backup systems emulate a range of physical tape devices listed in Emulation types.
Table 6 Emulation types for tape devices
DescriptionEmulation type
If supported by your backup application, this is the preferred emulation type because it does
not emulate any physical library types in existence and is, therefore, clearly identifiable as
D2DBS Generic
a StoreOnce device. It is the most flexible emulation type available; however, backup
application support varies by software vendor.
If you have selected D2DBS Generic for the Library Emulation Type, you will be able to
select Ultrium VT for the drive emulation. This is a generic Ultrium device which is clearly
identifiable as virtual. Backup application support for Ultrium VT is common, but not quite
as complete as the D2DBS library type, so its not possible to use it with all backup software.
NOTE: Symantec prefers their customers use this emulation type with BackupExec and
Netbackup.
An enterprise tape library solution that allows you to configure up to 500 drives and up to
4096 cartridges per library (HP 4900 = up to 16384 cartridges per library).
EML E Series
An enterprise tape solution that allows you to configure up to 500 drives and up to 4096
cartridges per library (HP 4900 = up to 16384 cartridges per library).
ESL E Series
A tape library device that appears as a native IBM TS3500 device in a TSM environment
to allow use of standard IBM drivers. The emulation type is configured at the library level.
IBM-TS3500
Therefore, all drives on a library configured with the IBM-TS3500 emulation type will use
the IBM-LTO3 drive emulation type. If the library is then changed to a different emulation
type, the drives will change to the new emulation type.
A tape library device with a maximum of two embedded Ultrium tape drives and 24 cartridge
slots. It should be used when implementing rotation schemes which involve simultaneous
backup jobs to two devices. This emulation type is widely supported by backup applications.
