Virtualize Volume
The Volume Virtualize page is used to clone physical or other legacy media to a
BackBox virtual volume.
Refer to: Virtualization / materialization of Virtual volumes
Appendix B – External tape devices installation
Appendix C – Migration to the BackBox product
Before or after initiating the operation, a physical media must be loaded on a VT
Controller attached tape drive; or a volume materialization is initiated in a tier-party VTS
connected to a VTC.
At the end of the virtualization of a media, the media is unloaded and any subsequent
media presented by an auto-loader or an operator will be virtualized without manual
intervention in BackBox.
The virtualization task stops when no media is loaded during the entered Idle time out
time.
Physical drives and drives used to directly connect another Virtual Tape System are
presented and managed the same way.
