• VT->VT: Shows “Not copying” (idle), “Reading disc” (copying from optical disc
to virtual disk) or “Writing disc” (copying from virtual disk to optical disc).
The device panel presents three buttons for operating the optical drive (See Fig-
ure 3-45):
•
Eject: Ejects a disc inserted into the optical drive
Note: The optical drive’s Eject button is disabled by the miSAN-V-Series
•
Format: Formats a disc inserted into the optical drive and creates a new
virtual tape called “VT optical disc”.
After formatting the disc, the miSAN-V-Series determines the available stor-
age
capacity of the optical disc and then creates a single virtual tape of
that size.
•
Backup a VT: Allows for copying a virtual tape to optical disc.
After clicking
Backup a VT, a window will appear with a drop-down listbox that
includes all the virtual tapes.
To begin the copy, select the desired virtual tape from the listbox (See Figure 3-46),
and then click OK. The copy will begin immediately or be queued until the optical
drive becomes available. The miSAN-V-Series will automatically eject the disc after
the copy completes

Caution
Make sure to format the disc before writing to it for the first time.
Remember that formatting the disc will erase any data currently stored
on it.
Caution
The size of the virtual tape to be copied to the optical disc must not be
larger than the optical disc storage capacity, else the copied virtual tape
will be truncated and incomplete.
