Check the following if you have plugged-in the PnP disk and do not automatically see the device displayed in the CommCell console:
-
Examine the Check for media change in drive every n minutes option in Library Properties - Drive tab to see how often the MediaAgent checks the drive for media changes in the drive.
-
See Setup Automatic Checking of Media for instructions about how to modify this option.
-
See also Detecting Media Changes in Stand-Alone Drives for additional details.
-
-
If the disk contains data and you want to use the disk, make sure that the Only use PnP disk when it is blank option is not enabled on the Library Properties - Media Usage tab. See Enable Option to Use Blank PnP Disks Only for instructions.
-
Verify the total capacity of the media and make sure that the disk size is greater than the value defined in Use disk only when the size is greater than (n) MB option. If necessary, modify the value to a smaller capacity so that the PnP disk is detected in the drive. See Enable Option to Use PnP Disks with a Specific Size for instructions.
