9. If licensed, configure Data Encryption, which enables VTS to encrypt data that is stored on
virtual tape. See "Enabling and Configuring Data Encryption" on page 79.
10. Enable and configure Scan/Cleanup, which erases old virtual tapes to recover disk space. See
"Enabling and Configuring Scan/Cleanup" on page 125 for more information.
11. Configure access control to grant or limit access to specific VTS functions. See "Configuring
User Accounts" on page 131.

13. Write labels to the virtual tapes from the host server as described in "To label virtual tapes"
on page 94.
14. Verify EMS settings by running a labeled backup on each VTD.
15. If you want to use the HP System Health Application, Insight Management Agents, and
Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) to monitor VTS, you must configure them. See "Diagnostic
techniques" on page 164 for more information.
16. Back up the database and configuration files as described in "Backing up the VTS server" on

To maintain VTS
l Manage the virtual tape drives (VTDs) as necessary, such as renaming VTDs according to your
chosen naming convention. Also, create and manage pools and tapes as necessary. See
"Creating and Managing Virtual Media" on page 87.
l View and save log files. See "Log files" on page 172 for more information.
l Start and stop processes, including the main TapeServer process, from the Manage System
Tasks page.
l Power on and off the VTS system as described in "Powering up and down" on page 158.
l Maintain the file system (run fsck) and view file system (vault) status from the System Status
page. See "Maintaining the file system" on page 159.
