NOTE: It is only possible to exceed the maximum physical limitation of 64 devices when configuring the HP D2D4112 Backup System. Creating cartridges The procedure is as described in the main guide, apart from the following note that applies if you are using Tape Attach. NOTE: When you import a cartridge, you need an empty mail slot and an empty cartridge to which the backup application can move the imported data. Therefore, you may wish to leave a slot whose cartridge has been exported empty, rather than creating a new cartridge. Or to create a slot, edit the Total No Of Cartridge Slots on the Devices page. NAS devices G1 products do not support NFS NAS shares; they only support CIFS NAS shares. Tape Attach An external or rackmount Ultrium library or tape device may be attached directly to the HP D2D Backup System, allowing the user to store backups offsite. Always refer to http://www.hp.com/go/ connect or http://www.hp.com/go/ebs to find out which tape library and tape drive models are supported. Both SAS and SCSI library and tape devices are supported and require installation of a host bus adapter (HBA); External devices may be half-height or full-height. Rackmount devices are installed in a rackmount enclosure, such as a 1U Rack, 3U Rack or a TapeArray. With a SCSI interface, up to two tape drives may be connected (including tape drives in libraries), and up to two tape operations (import, export or copy) from separate libraries may take place at any one time. With a SAS interface, up to four tape drives may be connected (including tape drives in libraries), and up to four tape operations (import, export or copy) from separate libraries may take place at any one time. NOTE: Tape Attach is only appropriate if you wish to back up Virtual Tape Devices to a physical tape device connected to the HP D2D Backup System. You cannot back up NAS shares in this way. The Tape Attach web pages allow you to configure attached tape storage device, run jobs manually, create and run job schedules, view status and job history. 184 Extra information for G1 products

The procedure is as described in the main guide, apart from the following note that applies if you
are using Tape Attach.
NOTE:
When you import a cartridge, you need an empty mail slot and an empty cartridge to which the
backup application can move the imported data. Therefore, you may wish to leave a slot whose
cartridge has been exported empty, rather than creating a new cartridge. Or to create a slot, edit
the
Total No Of Cartridge Slots
on the Devices page.
NAS devices
G1 products do not support NFS NAS shares; they only support CIFS NAS shares.
Tape Attach

to find out which tape library and tape drive models are
supported.
Both SAS and SCSI library and tape devices are supported and require installation of a host bus
adapter (HBA); External devices may be half-height or full-height. Rackmount devices are installed in
a rackmount enclosure, such as a 1U Rack, 3U Rack or a TapeArray.
With a SCSI interface, up to two tape drives may be connected (including tape drives in libraries),
and up to two tape operations (import, export or copy) from separate libraries may take place at any
one time. With a SAS interface, up to four tape drives may be connected (including tape drives in
libraries), and up to four tape operations (import, export or copy) from separate libraries may take
place at any one time.
NOTE:
Tape Attach is only appropriate if you wish to back up Virtual Tape Devices to a physical tape device
connected to the HP D2D Backup System. You cannot back up NAS shares in this way.
The Tape Attach web pages allow you to configure attached tape storage device, run jobs manually,
create and run job schedules, view status and job history.
