Libraries, slots and storage capacity
It is recommended to:
•
Only configure the libraries that you need
•
Only configure the number of cartridges that you are likely to need
NOTE:
Refer to HP StoreOnce Best Practices for VTL, NAS and Replication implementations,
available on the HP Manuals web site, for guidelines on setting up a backup policy/job within
backup applications. This will also help you determine how many libraries and cartridges you
need to set up.
You can add cartridges at a later date to expand the system and remove individual blank cartridges
from a library without deleting the whole library, but cannot remove cartridges that have been
written to.
