Inserting Tapes

Inserting Tapes

The TC Enterprise partition on the t950 library has 200 slots allocated to it. When importing tapes into the t950, you can only import 10 tapes at a time. The following procedure will walk you through importing tapes into the TC Enterprise partition.

1. Go to the T950 library

2. Select the import/export tab

3. Go to Partition : Select TCENTERPRISE

4. Select export exchange

5. Insert Media into Tera Pack and select continue

After inserting the tapes into the library, we have to move them into Backup exec. The following procedure will walk you through getting the tapes into the 200 slot enterprise partition.

1. Go to the T950 library

2. Select the inventory tab

3. Go to Partition : Select TCENTERPRISE

4. Select your Source : Entry/Exit

5. Select your Destination : Storage

6. Highlight Source tape and Destination Slot

7. Select Add move

8. If you have more tapes, repeat steps 8 and 9

9. When done select Start Moves

After the tapes have been moved, verify the tapes are in their correct slots. This will also ensure that Backup exec recognizes the tapes as well.

1. Log into TTCBACKUP

2. Open Backup Exec

3. Go to the Devices tab

4. Right-click spectra 1 and select Scan

If you do not scan the library after importing the tapes, the software will never know the tapes are there.
