NOTE: The size of a device reflects the space that is currently being used on a device; one GB equals one billion bytes. (The appliance uses the calculation of 1000 x 1000 x 1000 instead of 1024 x 1024 x 1024.) • Compression Indicates whether the compression feature was enabled for the device. Modify Virtual Standalone Tape Configuration Use this page to modify the compression, maximum size, device name, and host name for an existing virtual Tape Device. • Device Type Indicates that the device is a Standalone Tape Drive. • Enable Tape Compression If your backup software supports a hardware compression feature for use with tape, you can use this option to emulate that feature. For optimal backup performance, leave this check box cleared; to maximize the backup storage capacity, select this check box. • Maximum Cartridge Size Enter the maximum size that to allow the device to reach. The default value is 200 GB. Set the maximum size to the physical capacity in order to grow to full capacity. NOTE: If you decide to change the maximum size at a later date, be aware that you can only increase the size; you cannot reduce it. To use a device with a smaller maximum size, you must either delete this device and recreate it using the desired size, or create an additional device that uses the desired size. • iSCSI Device Name To change the default target name of a device, type the new name in this field. (All targets must have an iSCSI name.) • Current Cartridge Size Indicates the amount of space currently being used by the device. • Tape Serial Number The serial number assigned by the GUI to this device. • Status Indicates the current state of the device. • iSCSI Host Name Use this field to change the name of the host system that accesses this standalone tape. • iSCSI Host IP Address If you want to use an additional level of authentication, use dotted decimal notation to enter the IP address of the host system in this field. Backup Host Summary Use this page to view a summary of the initiators (backup hosts) that are assigned to the libraries and devices currently defined on the appliance. For each host, this page shows information such as which devices (targets) it is associated with. Hardware Status Use this page to monitor the status of volumes and each disk. Your can also use this page to verify the RAID unit (after a RAID volume is created, that is, the Status is OK, click Verify to make sure that the unit is fully functional). Table 3 Hardware status indicators Normal Indicates that all components within the VLS are operating normally. Warning Error Indicates that the RAID configuration is operating in a degraded state or is rebuilding. Devices are operational but not protected. Indicates that either the RAID configuration or a specific disk failed. HP StorageWorks 1000i Virtual Library System 69
