About Host Access

Host Access provides a way to limit host access to specific tape drives and partitions via the library interface. To use host access, you must have a Storage Networking license on the library. The Storage Networking license must be sufficient to cover the tape drive(s) you want to configure for host access. For information on licensing, see Applying a License Key.

To configure host access, you must first register the host(s) for host access, and enable host access on the desired tape drive(s). Then you map the host to the tape drives or partitions you want the host to access.

Host Access uses the following configuration options. For information about an option, click the link.
