This section provides the
icon in the right column for viewing the tape drive properties. Clicking
this icon displays a page similar to the one in Figure 30 on page 60. Use this page to change
selected properties for all virtual tape cartridges in the CP 3100 (see Table 7 on page 60). Any
change entered on this page affects all virtual tape cartridges. To configure an individual virtual tape
cartridge, see “Configuring a Virtual Tape Cartridge” on page 64.
