• If it is accessible, there is a problem with the backup application. Certain backup applications
requireyoutousetheirowndriversforboththetapedeviceandmediumchanger. Ifthisis
the case, you must install the backup application drivers m anually after the Installation wiza rd
has c ompleted.
• Make sure that the i SCSI initiator is connected to the devices and log on to them, if they are
not. See “Targets tab”onpage49
• If it is not accessible, rerun Discovery.
I cannot create a device
The HP D2D Backup System supports a maximum of six devices.
I cannot see a newly created device
WhenyoucreateanewdeviceontheHPD2DBackupSystem,thehostwillnotbeabletoseethedevice
until you connect manually to it using the iSCSI Initiator. See “Advanced installation” on page 45
for more information.
If you still cannot see the device, check Device M anag er to make sure it is visible from the host.
I cannot see additional slots from the backup application
When you cre
ate ad d itional slots for an autoloader on the HP D2D Backup System, you may need to
restart services on the backup application so that it can see the new slots.
A deleted device keeps reappearing
When you create a device with the Installation wizard it is always configured as a Persistent Target
on the host. This means that the connection will automatically be restarted each time the host logs
on to the HP D2D Backup System. To delete the connection, use the iSCSI Initiator as described in
“Persistent Targets tab” on page 50.
If backup is slow
Are you co
nnecting to a 1 0/1 0 0B a se-T port? 100 Base-T will limit performance; 10 B ase-T will severely
limit pe
rformance.
Check that other network traffic is not too heavy. Congested networks will slow performance, even
on Gigabit.
Check the backup application. If you are backing up a client of a backup server, the bottleneck may be
in the ba
ckup server.
Ensure that the host being backed up is not in use at the time of backup.
Cartridge troubleshooting
• Cannot resize cartridges
• My tape drive has run out of space
• My physical tape drive has a smaller capacity than the cartridge size on the HP D2D Backup
System
I cannot resize cartridges
Theonlytimeyoucanresizecartridgesiswhenyoufirst create an autoloader or add slots and they are
blank. O nce the cartridges a re made available to the backup application, it formats them ready for use
and they are no long er blank, even if you have not yet written data to them. Similarly, the erase function
on most backup applications does not return the cartridge to a blank state.
