Editing The Maximum Cartridge Size; Moving Or Unloading Cartridges; Editing Barcodes In Bulk - HPE StoreOnce 6500 User Manual

3. Check the Write Protected check box for the appropriate cartridges.
4. Click Update. Your backup application will not be able to write any more data to the cartridges.

Editing the maximum cartridge size

The Max Size defaults to the appropriate capacity for the drive emulation type selected on the Devices
tab, but this value is editable. The maximum value allowed is 3200 GB.
The maximum size indicates the maximum amount of user data that can be written to that cartridge,
assuming uncompressed data; it will only be committed when data is written to it. Changing the maximum
space does not affect actual disk usage or save disk space but may be useful if you know you will be
moving data to a physical tape with a smaller cartridge capacity.
Prerequisites
Only administrators can edit the maximum cartridge size.
Procedure
1. Navigate to StoreOnce > VTL > Libraries > Cartridges tab.
2. Click Edit for the selected library.
3. Select a value from the drop-down menu, and click Update.

Moving or unloading cartridges

The move and unload options are useful to re-align the library configuration against the backup
application. For example, if the backup application has crashed or if the backup application does not
support the Move Medium command, the library and the backup application can become out of sync.
NOTE:
• You can move cartridges, but only to an empty Location (tape drive or numbered slot).
• You cannot move or unload cartridges that are in the delete pending, erase pending, or create state.
Procedure
1. Navigate to StoreOnce > VTL > Libraries > Cartridges tab.
2. Click the Move button. The Move Cartridge drop-down menu lists available empty slots. (Empty
numbered slots are created when a cartridge is deleted.)
3. Use the Unload all Cartridges button to return all cartridges to default slots.

Editing barcodes in bulk

After a library is created, the Edit Barcodes button appears at the bottom of the cartridges tab for that
library. This feature allows the barcodes of a batch of cartridges within the library to be changed according
to a user-defined template which may contain a fixed prefix and/or suffix value and a variable portion.
