Renaming

When a new tape is detected by the software, it is automatically assigned a name in the following format: Tape XXX, where XXX is a unique number. Tapes are numbered sequentially. The renaming operation allows you to manually change the name of one or several tapes.

To rename tapes:

  1. In the Navigation tree, click Tape management. If connected to the management server, select the storage node to which your tape device is attached.
  2. Click the pool that contains the necessary tape(s), and then select the required tape(s).
  3. Click Rename.
  4. Type new name(s) of the selected tape(s).
  5. Click OK to save the changes.
