Virtual Tape Drive Model Select the tape drive model emulated by the virtual drives
in the partition. All virtual tape drives in a partition must be
the same model.The following tape drive models are
available:
l IBM LTO-1, LTO-2, LTO-3, LTO-4, or LTO-5
l HP LTO-1, LTO-2, LTO-3, LTO-4, or LTO-5
Number of Virtual Tape
Drives
Enter the number of virtual tape drives in the partition.
If all tape drives are currently assigned to other
partitions, you must remove one or more tape
drives from an existing partition to make them
available for use in a new partition.
Enable deduplication - Select the check box to enable data deduplication.
Fujitsu Technology Solutions recommends that you
enable data deduplication to optimize disk usage.
Data deduplication is enabled by default. You
cannot enable or disable data deduplication after
the partition is added. If data duplication is
disabled, then data compression is also disabled.
Enable Auto Export When a tape is moved from a Storage Slot to an I/E Slot,
depending on the Auto Export setting, the media: will be
removed from the virtual I/E slot, if Auto Export is
enabled. (default) will remain in the virtual I/E slot, if Auto
Export is disabled.

For more information about configuring replication for a partition, or to set up replication
for the partition at a later time, see "Replication" on page 363.
4. Click Apply.
After you add a partition, you must add media and map drives to a host before the partition
can be used for backups (see "Media Add" on page 224 and "Remote Host Mapping" on page
233).
