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.
Note: It is possible to oversubscribe space on the DXi4701. In this
case, the total capacity of all media is more than the capacity
of the DXi. For guidance on selecting media quantity and size,
see Virtual Media—How Many and What Size? on page 16.
To access the Media Add page, on the Media page, click the Add tab
(see Figure 129 ).
