But you must enter it manually if you are creating a new device on this page. You can find the name by running the iSCSI Initiator on the host and copying the Initiator Node Name from the General tab. See "Manual driver installation" on page 31.

D2D Backup System 47 Cartridges (Configuration) Use this page to view and configure cartridge settings. The number of slots configured on the Devices page for an autoloader determines the number of cartridge rows that are available to edit on this page; tape drives have only one cartridge. To write protect a cartridge Click Edit for the appropriate cartridge. Check the Write Protected check box for the cartridge. Your backup application will not be able to write any more data to it. To edit maximum size The only time you can resize cartridges is when you first create an autoloader or add slots and they are blank. Once the cartridges are made available to the backup application, it formats them ready for use and they are no longer blank, even if you have not yet written data to them. Similarly, the erase function on most backup applications does not return the cartridge to a completely blank state. The Max Size defaults to 200 GB, but if the Used Size is Blank, you can edit this value. Select a value from the drop-down menu and click Update. 48 The Web Management Interface NOTE: The maximum size indicates the physical disk space available for that slot; it will only be committed when data is written to it. Changing the maximum space does not affect actual disk usage or save disk space, but may be useful if you know you will be offloading to a tape with a smaller cartridge capacity. Network (Configuration) This page is used to view and edit network settings. It is also used to turn Beacon Mode on and off. Network configuration The details in this section reflect the IP settings that were specified during installation. You may need to edit the details if there is a conflict in the IP address, or you move the host to a different network node. Be aware that any changes you make to the network settings could affect how you connect again to the HP D2D Backup System. For example, if you change the IP address, you must use the new address to log in from the web. Click Edit to make the details editable. [. . . ] If this is the case, you must install the backup application drivers manually after the Installation wizard has completed. · If it is not visible, rerun Discovery. I cannot create a device The HP D2D Backup System supports a maximum of four devices. I cannot see a newly created device When you create a new device on the HP D2D Backup System, the host will not be able to see the device until you connect manually to it using the iSCSI Initiator. See "Advanced installation" on page 25 for more information. I cannot see additional slots from the backup application When you create additional slots for an autoloader on the HP D2D Backup System, you may need to restart services on the backup application so that it can see the new slots. A deleted device keeps reappearing When you create a device with the Installation Wizard it is always configured as a Persistent Target on the host. This means that the connection will automatically be restarted each time the host logs on to the HP D2D Backup System. [. . . ]
