General Installation Notes  

Multiple SCSI Buses with Libraries 

If your library and its devices are connected to different SCSI buses, the device driver may become 
confused as to which device is contained within the library. If the library and its devices use either the 
SCSI-2 serial number or the new SCSI-3 identifier protocol, all devices will be correctly identified. 
However, if the library supports neither the SCSI-2 serial number nor the SCSI-3 identifier protocol, you 
must connect the library and its devices to the same SCSI bus.  

You can also configure the drivers manually. Edit the 

dpconfig.ini

 file as follows: 

[loader logical name] 
device-1 = device logical name 
... 

NetWare Installation Notes 

Running Data Protector Express for NetWare for the First Time 

When you run Data Protector Express the first time after installing Data Protector Express on a NetWare 
Server, NetWare asks you to enter the NetWare Directory Services (NDS) login user name and password 
for the administrator. You must enter this password before you can log in to Data Protector Express. 

The default NDS information provided by Data Protector Express may not be correct for your NDS 
installation. If the NDS login displays something like: 

cn=admin.ou=organizationalunit.o=organization 

Try changing the path to: 

cn=admin.o=organization 

After you successfully log on to NDS, the normal Data Protector Express display login screen appears. 

NOTE:

  You are only asked to enter the NDS login password once. After you enter the password, the 

normal Data Protector Express login screen always appears. 

Users with Adaptec Controllers Must Install the Latest Drivers 

Some NetWare users with Adaptec controllers may be using outdated drivers, which will affect Data 
Protector Express operation. Therefore, if you have an Adaptec controller, please update your drivers 
before installing Data Protector Express.
