Configuration Details are Required Before Using the Wizard

Since this wizard does not use device serialization, it requires prior configuration details from you about your configuration.

Before you start the Shared Drive Wizard, obtain and note information for your configuration, so that you can accurately respond to the wizard prompts. The configuration information that is required by the wizard varies depending on the configuration changes that you are doing, and includes the following:

• The name for the shared drive.

The drive name must also remain the same if you later change the attributes of the drive (see Drive Properties Screen).

• The type of the drive.
• Note whether the drive is in a robot or is a standalone drive.
• The names of the hosts that will share this drive. Remember that each host that shares the drive must have a license for SSO.
• If you add additional hosts that will share the drive, you need to know the device path for the drive for each host. On Windows hosts, the device path is the name of the drive as it is recognized by operating system. On UNIX hosts, the device path is the name of the no rewind on close device file.
• When adding drives in a mixed environment (UNIX and Windows hosts), confirm the device names on each of the hosts before defining the drives on the master server.
