Media Add
Use the Media Add page to add a contiguous range of virtual tape cartridges to a VTL
partition. You can specify the initial location, starting barcode, media type, and media
capacity. After the cartridges are created, they are available for backing up data.

total capacity of all media is more than the capacity of the ETERNUS CS800.
