It is recommended to:
Only configure the libraries that you need
Only configure the number of cartridges that you are likely to need
NOTE: Refer to HP StoreOnce Best Practices for VTL, NAS and Replication implementations,
available on the HP Manuals web site, for guidelines on setting up a backup policy/job within
backup applications. This will also help you determine how many libraries and cartridges you
need to set up.
You can add cartridges at a later date to expand the system and remove individual blank cartridges
from a library without deleting the whole library, but cannot remove cartridges that have been
written to.

when using 6–character barcodes. The six characters that are reported to the backup
application are determined by whether the justify option is set to left or right. Setting it to
left justify will mean that the first 6 characters of the barcode will be reported to the backup
application, right justify will report the last 6 characters. Note that using left justify may result
in the backup application seeing barcodes that appear to be duplicates.
