BRU Server Hardware Scan
In the event that you need to run a hardware scan on the bruAPP, use the “Hardware Scan” option to
re-scan for tape devices, new or old, that have been connected to the bruAPP Backup Appliance.
You'll see the progress of the hardware scan (figure 8.2) while it runs.

BRU Server Hardware Scan status.
When connecting new tape devices to the bruAPP, a reboot of the bruAPP system is
required in order for the bruAPP/OS to properly see and use the device in BRU Server.
When running a hardware scan, any backup or restore operations will be terminated. A warning is
displayed (figure 8.3) to alert of this when the hardware scan is selected.

If there are running operations in BRU Server when the hardware scan is performed they cannot be
resumed from the point at which they were terminated. All operations must be started from the
beginning.
