Enter the number of cartridges and the cartridge size in the appropriate boxes (
).
The default number of cartridges is based on the maximum number of slots configured for the
virtual library. The default cartridge size is based on the actual size of the type of cartridge
emulated.
If there are multiple storage pools on your system, you must select the pool in which to create
cartridges from the —> Available capacity list.
The system calculates and displays the amount of required storage. If the required storage
exceeds what is available, the overage appears in red. You can allow the oversubscription
of storage capacity (see
“Enabling and Disabling Oversubscription” (page 108)
), or you can
change either the number of cartridges or the cartridge size (or both) to correct the overage
condition.

Destroying a Virtual Library
NOTE:
Destroying a virtual library may create a gap in the default LUN numbering on the Fibre
Channel host port to which it was mapped. If a gap is created, restart the VLS device emulations
to remove the gap. See
“Restarting VLS Device Emulations” (page 129)
.
Most operating systems will ignore (cannot access) any virtual devices with LUN numbers that
follow a gap in the LUN numbering on an Fibre Channel host port.
