Detailed instructions can be found at How to create a Remote Device Server (RDS).
- Linux/UNIX: Select and install the SEP sesam Remote Device Server package (for example, sesam_rts-4.0.2-13.rhel5.i386.rpm for RedHat) from the SEP download center.
- Windows: Select the SEP sesam Server package (for example, sesam-srv-4.0.2.13-windows.exe) from the SEP download center. Start the installation and choose SEP sesam Remote Tape as the package.
- Add the computer as a normal SEP sesam Client under Components -> Topology. Ensure that the DNS between the SEP sesam Server and SEP sesam Remote Device Server is properly handled.
- Create a new drive group under Components -> Disk Drives and select the drive from the remote computer as a New drive.
- To see the name of the new device on the Remote Device Server, use the command:
<SESAM_BIN>/sesam/slu topology
(for example, Tape0 or/dev/nst0). If you selected a disk drive, you only need to enter the drive type DISK_HARD. - Create a new media pool and assign it to the new drive group.
- Register the new media to the media pool.
