Managing virtual libraries
3. Otherwise, if you plan to create additional libraries later, divide the Maximum
( above) between the libraries, and enter the number allocated to this library as
B
the Number of Virtual Tapes (
The new value has to be less than the Maximum, so that capacity is reserved for
creating tapes for the additional libraries.

5. When the Set Barcode Range Option panel appears, check the Use the
following barcode range for this batch check box (
Next (
The Set Barcode Range Option panel defines the set of barcodes that the
virtual library will support. Each batch of cartridges that you subsequently create
must be a subset of the range you define now—you cannot change it later. So Sun
recommends setting this value to the widest range possible, 000000-ZZZZZZ. The
virtual library can then support any barcoding scheme that you will ever need.
