Caution
Make sure to format the disks before creating virtual tapes for the first
time. Use the Format disks tab to do so. Failure to initially format the
disks may cause errors when creating virtual tapes. After creating
virtual tapes, remember that formatting the disks will erase the data
stored on all disks used for the virtual tape cache.
