This value may be changed if the Used Size is Blank, see below. The maximum value allowed is 3200 GB. This is a check box that allows you to enable (checked) and disable (unchecked) write protection, see below. This drop-down list is displayed in Edit mode and allows you to move the cartridge to an empty (blank) slot, mail slot or tape drive. This tells you when the cartridge was last written to and is useful when identifying data for copying or exporting. Empty slots Empty slots are slots that contain no cartridges; all the fields are empty. • Tape drive row: A library consists of two devices; a tape drive and changer device. This location refers to the tape drive element of the library. It is normally only populated when the backup application on the host is writing to or reading from the library. • Mail slot row: This location refers to the slot that is used for importing and exporting data to a physically attached tape drive. It is not used with G2 products. • Numbered slot row: This slot is empty after a Delete operation or after the backup application has moved data to the mail slot for export. Once a numbered slot is empty, the Create button may be used to create a new, blank cartridge. See To create a cartridge on page 27. To delete a cartridge If the Used Size of a cartridge is Blank, you will be able to remove it. Click on the Delete button. There is a new right-hand column, Delete Cartridge. You can select individual slots by clicking in the appropriate checkboxes. When you have selected the slots where cartridges should be deleted, click Delete. If the Used Size is not Blank, you can still remove it but only space that is occupied by unique data will be freed up. Alternatively, click Delete All to delete all the cartridges in the library. 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 Click Edit for the appropriate cartridge. Check the Write Protected check box for the cartridge. Your backup application will not be able to write any more data to it. 26 Virtual Tape Devices

Empty slots
Empty slots are slots that contain no cartridges; all the fields are empty.
•
Tape drive row: A library consists of two devices; a tape drive and changer device. This location
refers to the tape drive element of the library. It is normally only populated when the backup ap-
plication on the host is writing to or reading from the library.
•
Mail slot row: This location refers to the slot that is used for importing and exporting data to a
physically attached tape drive. It is not used with G2 products.
•
Numbered slot row: This slot is empty after a
Delete
operation or after the backup application has
moved data to the mail slot for export.
Once a numbered slot is empty, the
Create
button may be used to create a new, blank cartridge. See
To create a cartridge
on page 27.
To delete a cartridge
If the
Used Size
of a cartridge is
Blank
, you will be able to remove it.
Click on the
Delete
button. There is a new right-hand column,
Delete Cartridge
.
You can select individual slots by clicking in the appropriate checkboxes. When you have selected
the slots where cartridges should be deleted, click
Delete
. If the
Used Size
is not
Blank
, you can still
remove it but only space that is occupied by unique data will be freed up.
Alternatively, click
Delete All
to delete all the cartridges in the library.
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
Click
Edit
for the appropriate cartridge. Check the
Write Protected
check box for the cartridge. Your
backup application will not be able to write any more data to it.
