Parameters
NAS: Specifies the name of the data mover. This name must be the same as a node name that you previously registered using the REGISTER NODE TYPE=NAS command. The data that is backed up from this NAS data mover will be assigned to this node name in the server database. A maximum of 30 characters can be used to specify the name.
SCSI: Specifies a name that you want to assign to the data mover. The name is used in relating the data mover to disk or drives that the data mover can access in server-free data movement operations. A maximum of 30 characters can be used to specify the name.
Attention: If a library is controlled using a path from a NAS data mover to the library, and the NAS data mover is offline, the server will not be able to access the library. If the server is halted and restarted while the NAS data mover is offline, the library will not be initialized. This only applies to NAS data movers.
