How do I prevent DPX from using a particular tape drive?

Resolution



Normally, DPX uses all the devices in a device cluster. If, for some reason, you do not want DPX to use a particular device, you can put the device out of service temporarily. This saves you from having to modify the device cluster. Located in the Device Control screen, the Up or Down a Device button puts a device out of service or puts a device back in service.

To put a device in or out of service:

  1. Click the device cluster. The devices contained in the cluster appear.
  2. Select the device you want to put in or out of service.
  3. Choose Up or Down a device. If the device is up, its status changes to Down. If the device is down, its status changes to Up.
