Create Virtual Tapes

This item allows for creating virtual tapes from the disk storage space available to the

miSAN-V-Series. When selected, a window will appear showing the total number of

virtual tapes and their disk space allocation over the total storage capacity (See Fig-

ure 3-9). Each disk partition seen by the miSAN-V-Series is presented in the “Item”

column: The numbered disk is immediately followed by the names of the virtual tapes

it contains. The total capacity, in gigabytes, for each disk and virtual tape is shown in

the “Size” column. The “Free Space” for each disk is also listed.

The “Create virtual tapes” window presents the following three tabbed panels for man-

aging the disks used for the virtual tape cache:

Basic, Advanced and Format disks.

The miSAN-V-Series allows for creating virtual tapes using either the Basic or

Advanced tab. The Format disks tab is used before creating virtual tapes to erase the

disks used for the virtual tape cache.
