During installation SEP sesam checks the SCSI-connected storage devices and enters their data into its database. This auto-detection works for most devices, but for certain types of loaders the connection between a loader and the drives cannot be recognized automatically. Such devices must be manually verified and entered into the configuration.

Step 3: Storage Hardware - Drives and Loaders

Information sign.png Note
In order to improve usability, SEP sesam GUI has been redesigned to be more user-friendly without significantly changing the interface logic. SEP sesam documentation update (such as screenshots) to reflect these changes is being done in a phased manner, therefore the screenshots may still show the GUI from previous versions.

During installation SEP sesam checks the SCSI-connected storage devices and enters their data into its database. This auto-detection works for most devices, but for certain types of loaders the connection between a loader and the drives cannot be recognized automatically. Such devices must be manually verified and entered into the configuration.

SEP sesam displays automatically detected backup devices in GUI: Main selection -> Components -> Loaders. All detected loaders are displayed; you only need to select a loader to review its properties, and then click OK to confirm the loader configuration. It is highly recommended to set the Auto unload function to No.

Information sign.png Note
When using Windows, the hardware must be recognized correctly by the operating system in the Windows Device Manager (must not be shown as Unknown Medium Changer) before SEP sesam is installed!

Loader 4.4.png

For the drives, an analog procedure is applied. You can view the properties of each drive in the Main selection -> Components -> Drives -> Drive groups. The default drive group is Tape drives.

Drives 4.4.png

If the drive characteristics in the field Loader states No loader but should be serviced by an autoloader, the drive was not recognized/configured properly. You can enter this drive into the configuration location in the drive properties by clicking OK.

Information sign.png Note
The first drive in the loader is drive 0. If there are more drives in the loader, they will be numbered sequentially.
