User recommendations

To avoid over-allocation of disk space and the possibility of running out of disk space for non-user
data:
• Only configure the libraries that you need
• Only configure the number of cartridges that you are likely to need
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. See "Cartridges

Source and target libraries

Target libraries are created if you have a replication license when you create a replication mapping.
Source libraries are always visible to the host; Target libraries are not normally visible to the host, but
you can configure devices to make them visible to backup applications. This feature should be used
with care. See
