Drive compression for copying

This option enables or disables internal tape drive data compression for con-

nected tape devices (e.g., physical standalone or library tape drives).

Enabled, all physical tape drives connected to the miSAN-V-Series will write

data using their internal compression algorithm.

Disabled, all physical tape drives connected to the miSAN-V-Series will write

data in their native block size format.

Copy volume tags

This option allows the miSAN-V-Series to associate virtual tape volume tags (See

“Virtual Tapes Tab” on page 93) with the barcodes on their physical tape copies.

Enabled, the miSAN-V-Series will automatically copy the barcodes read from

physical tapes in an external library to the volume tags of their associated virtual

tapes. The volume tag is updated with the barcode after a virtual tape is written to

a physical tape cartridge.

Disabled, the virtual tape volume tags will remain unchanged after a copy to

barcoded physical tapes. See “Virtual Tape Popup Menu” on page 94 for informa-

tion about adding volume tags to virtual tapes.

Virtual Device Emulations

If the miSAN-V-Series is configured with multiple emulation support (See “Define

Emulations” on page 68), this option will display a window that allows for selecting

a different emulation for each virtual device. The window shows all the configured

virtual devices with a drop-down listbox for each. The listboxes contain the names

of the emulations configured in the “Define Emulations” menu, under the

Note

This feature can toggle drive data compression only if the tape drive is

physically set to allow host-controlled compression. See

documentation for connected tape devices for information about drive

compression settings.

Note

This option only applies to models configured with multiple emulation

support. For miSAN-V-Series models configured with only the default

emulations this option will show a message box saying there is nothing

to configure.
