1
Select Main Menu > Storage Device Administration.
A list of devices is displayed.
If no device is displayed in the list, run LIST DEVICES at the server
prompt.
2 Select a device name and press Enter.
The List of Media screen appears displaying the following information:
 Slot—The slot number given by the manufacturer.
 Media name—The name of the media, which can be changed using
the Utilities menu. See “Erasing or Retaining Media” on page 90.
 Number—The sequential number of the media (tape) in a particular
backup set. SBCON automatically labels and appends an
incremental number to any backup session that spans multiple media.
HINT: It takes a lot of time to display the media in an Autoloader. However, once
the media list is displayed, press Tab to access it. This will not rescan the device
for new media. Press Enter only when you remove or add media.
