10.3 VTL Configuration
Starting Barcode The first barcode number in the cartridge sequence.
You can enter any alpha-numeric string for the
starting barcode (uppercase letters only).
Subsequent barcodes are incremented accordingly.
For example, if you enter AA, the cartridges are
numbered AA0000, AA0001, AA0002, and so on. If
you enter a starting barcode with less than 6
characters, zeroes are appended to the barcode to
make it 6 characters long.
Media Type The media type of the cartridges.
The available media type options are
determined by the type of tape drive selected
when the partition was created (see "Media" on
page 211).
Media Capacity The capacity of the cartridges. Select an option:
l Native Size - The capacity is determined by the
selected media type.
l Custom Size - The capacity is a custom value.
Enter the custom cartridge capacity in the box.
Make sure the value is within the acceptable
range displayed next to the box
3. Click Apply.
