To Write Protect A Cartridge (Administrators Only); To Edit Maximum Cartridge Size (Administrators Only) - HP StoreOnce B6000 Series User Manual

NOTE: You can also delete cartridges by reducing the number of slots on the Devices page, but
this will only remove the highest blank slots. Once the Delete operation reaches a slot number that
contains data, it will not allow you to reduce the number further on the Details page, even if earlier
slots are blank. You must first use the Cartridges tab to make the slot blank.

To write protect a cartridge (administrators only)

1. Click Edit for the selected library.
2. Check the Write Protected check box for the cartridge(s).
3. Click on Update. Your backup application will not be able to write any more data to
thecartridge(s).

To edit maximum cartridge size (administrators only)

The only times you can resize cartridges are when you first create a library or when you add
cartridges and they are blank. Once the cartridges are made available to the backup application,
it formats them ready for use and they are no longer blank, even if you have not yet written data
to them. Similarly, the erase function on most backup applications does not return the cartridge to
a completely blank state.
The Max Size defaults to the appropriate capacity for the drive emulation type selected on the
Devices tab, but if the Used Size is Blank, you can edit this value. The maximum value allowed is
3200 GB.
NOTE: 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.
