Applies only to NetBackup Enterprise Server.

This attribute specifies the device host for the drive.

Check this attribute to specify that the path is active and that NetBackup can use it for backups and restores.

NDMP host

This attribute specifies the NDMP host for the device (if an NDMP host is configured in your NetBackup environment).

Additional information is available about NDMP drives.

See the NetBackup for NDMP Administrator's Guide.

Override SCSI Reserve settings

This attribute specifies the SCSI reserve override setting for the drive path.

  • Server Default. Use the SCSI reserve protection setting configured for the media server. If the setting for the media server is no protection, other HBAs can send the commands that can cause a loss of data to the tape drives.

  • SPC-2 SCSI Reserve. This option provides SCSI reserve and release protection for SCSI devices that conform to the reserve and release management method that is defined in the SCSI Primary Commands - 2 (SPC-2) standard.

  • SCSI Persistent Reserve. This option provides SCSI persistent reserve in and persistent reserve out protection for SCSI devices that conform to the SCSI Primary Commands - 3 (SPC-3) standard.

Global SCSI reserve properties are configured in the Media host properties.

See Media properties.

Port, Bus, Target, and LUN

The device attributes on Windows systems cannot change during NetBackup operation.

To specify the SCSI coordinates of the device, enter the Port, Bus, Target, and LUN.
