Defining a Library Path

To define a path to a library, first complete the following fields and then click Finish, or click Cancel to end this task. 

When you define a path, you make the destination (a library) accessible to the source (a data mover that is a NAS file server).

Source Name

Enter the name of the data mover that will be the source for this path. The data mover must already be defined to the server.

Destination Name

Select the name of the library that will be the destination for this path. The library must already be defined to the server. 

Source Type

Select the type of the source. The default is DATAMOVER.
DATAMOVER The source is a data mover, for example, a data mover that is a NAS file server.

Device

Enter the device name for the library, as known to the source. The source uses this name to access the library. For example, if you are defining a path from a NAS data mover to a library, the device name is a special file name such as mc0.

Device On-Line

Select whether the path is on-line, or available for use. The default is Yes.

Yes The path is available for use. However, the path is not available if either the source or the destination is not available.
No The path is not available for use.
