In order to share a library among MediaAgents, either directly or through a Storage Area Network (SAN), it is required to configure and map the resident drives. You can detect and configure the shared disk devices in the CommCell. The associated MediaAgents collect the information necessary to configure a device. All the configured devices and the MediaAgents that share a shared library will be displayed in the mount path properties.
Before you Begin
-
For Windows, configure multiple MediaAgents if the mount path of the device is UNC path.
-
For Unix, the mount path should be unique
Procedure
To configure multiple MediaAgents for a Shared Disk Device, see Sharing a Mount Path.
Note
-
For Windows, configure all MediaAgents when the mount path is configured as UNC path and all selected MediaAgents have access to this UNC path.
-
For Unix, ensure that the directory path to be mounted in the unconfigured MediaAgents has the same directory path as that of the configured MediaAgent.
