3. Otherwise, if you plan to create additional libraries later, divide the Maximum
( B above) between the libraries, and enter the number allocated to this library as
the Number of Virtual Tapes ( C ).
The new value has to be less than the Maximum, so that capacity is reserved for
creating tapes for the additional libraries.
4. Check the Use Default ID for Starting Number check box ( D above). Press
Next ( E ).
5. When the Set Barcode Range Option panel appears, check the Use the
following barcode range for this batch check box ( F below), and press
Next ( G ).
The Set Barcode Range Option panel defines the set of barcodes that the
virtual library will support. Each batch of cartridges that you subsequently create
must be a subset of the range you define now—you cannot change it later. So Sun
recommends setting this value to the widest range possible, 000000-ZZZZZZ. The
virtual library can then support any barcoding scheme that you will ever need.

If you are using the Auto‐Replication feature, go to “Setting up the Auto
Replication option” on page 50.

Otherwise, go to “Launching the virtual tape batch creation process” on
page 64.
▼ Setting replication parameters for virtual tape volumes
If the new virtual tapes will reside in a library that has the Auto‐Replication option
enabled, proceed as follows.
