Device Management in Tranzman Appliance

Tranzman categorises devices into three types for migration and recovery operations.
Use the System → Devices section in the web console to manage Tape Libraries, Disk Libraries, and NAS Connectors.

Device Types

  • Tape Library: Shares backup server tape library with Tranzman Server.
  • Disk Library: Used for cross vendor migrations.
  • NAS Connectors: Mount NFS/CFS shares for data recovery to files.

Adding Tape Devices

  1. In the Tranzman web console, go to System → Devices. The Tape Library section is listed by default.
    Click on Devices add tape library.jpg

  2. Click + and add the IP address and port number of the iSCSI Target.
    Click the Scan icon.

  3. After scanning, perform an inventory of the Tape Library by clicking the Inventory button InventoryButton.JPG.
    View results under Views ContentsButton.JPG.

  4. Device information is displayed in a separate section, showing drive status, loaded media ID, drive name, etc.

Adding Disk Libraries

  1. In the Tranzman web console, navigate to System → Devices.
  2. Click the Disk Library section and then the + icon to add a disk share (supports NFS, SMB, and local shares).
