To begin formatting the disks, click Format all disks . The miSAN-V-Series will then
erase the data stored on all disks used for the virtual tape cache. The message box
on the tab will change to show that the miSAN-V-Series is formatting the disks. Wait
for the formatting to complete, and then proceed to create virtual tapes (
See “Creating
Virtual Tapes” on page 29
).
Configure Virtual Devices
This item allows for setting the number of standalone tape drives and stackers. The
maximum number of virtual tape drives allowed, whether standalone or stacker, is
based on the model configuration. When selected, a window will appear showing the
current number of virtual devices (See Figure 3-13). To set the number of standalone
tape drives or stackers, enter the desired quantity for the device, and then click
OK.
When configuring a stacker, the number of tape drives and slots must also be set. The
device tree on the “Devices” tab will reset to update the configuration changes (See
“Deciding What Kind of Virtual Tape Drives to Create” on page 27 ).

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