Automated disk library is a process to configure new mount paths automatically when a new LUN is mounted under a given folder as the Mount point.
Automated disk library is useful in the following cases:
-
Multiple disk devices need to be detected and automatically assigned as a mount path in the library.
-
Storage is in Building Block and needs to be shared across MediaAgents.
Procedure
-
From the CommCell Browser, expand to Storage Resources.
-
Right-click Libraries, and the click Add | Advanced | Disk Library with Automated Mount Path Detection.
-
In the Add Disk Library with Automated Mount Path dialog box, specify the following:
-
In the Name box, type name of the disk library.
-
From the MediaAgent list, select the appropriate MediaAgent.
-
In the Disk Device box, enter the file path to the mount point.
Tip
When you mount a disk (LUN), assign the above mount-point folder path (rather than a drive letter) to the drive.
This will ensure that the newly added drive is automatically displayed as a mount path under the library.

Click OK.
