SCSI Reservation

SCSI reservation can be enabled for IntelliSnap backups for all agents. Enabling SCSI reservation prevents other SCSI3-compliant applications from using the reserved SCSI device (the mounted snapshot).

Note: If this option is enabled and the hardware does not support this type of operation, subsequent backup jobs might fail.

Use the following steps to enable SCSI reservation:

1. From the CommCell Browser, navigate to Client Computers.

2. Right-click the <Client>, and then click Properties.

3. Click Advanced.

4. Click the Additional Settings tab.

5. Click Add.

6. In the Name box, type nSCSIReserveForSnap.

7. In the Category box, select iDataAgent.

8. In the Type box, select Integer.

9. In the Value box, type 1.
