Configuration tab
Create Virtual Device
Use this page to create a virtual library or virtual standalone tape.
Virtual Device Information
Select the applicable option, Virtual Library or Virtual Standalone Tape Device.
NOTE:
The option you select changes which features are displayed on the remainder of this page and what
their defaults are.
iSCSI Host Settings
• iSCSI Name In the text box, type the iSCSI name of the host system that is allowed to access
this library or device.
• iSCSI IP Enforcement (optional) If you want to use an additional level of authentication, use dotted
decimal notation to enter the IP address of the host system in this field.
Device Details
The options that are available in the following list depend on whether you are creating a library or tape.
• Tape Compression If your backup software supports a hardware compression feature for use with
tape, you can use this option to emulate that feature. For optimal backup performance, leave this
check box cleared; to maximize the backup storage capacity, select this check box.
• Max Cartridge Size Enter the maximum size that you want to allow the device to reach. The default
value is 200 GB. Set the maximum size to the physical capacity in order to grow to full capacity.
• Device Type Select the applicable type. (There may be only one type available.)
• Drive Count Enter the number of virtual tape drives that you want to allocate for the virtual library.
• Cartridge Count Enter the number of virtual cartridges (and corresponding slots) that you want
to allocate for the virtual library. The GUI automatically creates a virtual tape-device for each
cartridge.
• Bar Code Seed To let the GUI specify the first bar code label and automatically generate
subsequent labels, leave the Automatic check box selected. To enter the first label manually,
clear the check box, and type the name in the text box that appears (you can enter up to six
alphanumeric characters).
IMPORTANT:
After you submit this page by clicking Create, you can only increase the number of cartridges and slots
assigned to the virtual library.
View/Edit Virtual Library
Use this page to view the amount of space currently consumed by the data stored in the virtual libraries;
view the number of existing virtual libraries, cartridges, and drives; modify information for an existing
virtual library; or remove a virtual library.
