Media Add
Use the Media Add page to add a contiguous range of virtual tape
cartridges to a VTL partition. You can specify the initial location, starting
barcode, media type, and media capacity. After the cartridges are
created, they are available for backing up data.
Note: It is possible to oversubscribe space on the DXi8500. In this
case, the total capacity of all media is more than the capacity
of the DXi. For guidance on selecting media quantity and size,
see Virtual Media—How Many and What Size?
To access the Media Add page, on the Media page, click the Add tab
(see Figure 165).
To add virtual tape cartridges to a partition:
1 In the Partition drop-down box, select the partition where the
media will be created.
2 Under Add Contiguous Media, enter information about the media:
• Initial Location - The initial location for cartridges after they are
created (Storage Slot or I/E Slot).
