Caution:
If you are planning to replicate or recover to/from a
DXi7500, do NOT set the media capacity larger than
the native capacity for the tape drive (examples
SDLT600 = 600 GB, DLT-S4 = 1.6 TB, LTO-3 = 800 GB).
If you have already configured your media capacity
larger than the native capacity of the tape drive and
you need to recover a partition that has been
replicated to a DXi7500, refer to the special recovery
instructions in the troubleshooting section (see
Recovering Media from a DXi7500
on page 139).
