NOTE:
The size of a device reflects the space that is currently being used on a device; one GB equals one billion
bytes. (The appliance uses the calculation of 1000 x 1000 x 1000 instead of 1024 x 1024 x 1024.)
• Compression Indicates whether the compression feature was enabled for the device.
Modify Virtual Standalone Tape Configuration
Use this page to modify the compression, maximum size, device name, and host name for an existing
virtual Tape Device.
• Device Type Indicates that the device is a Standalone Tape Drive.
• Enable Tape Compression If your backup software supports a hardware compression feature for
use with tape, you c an use this option to emulate that feature. For optimal backup performance,
leave this check box cleared; to m aximize the backup storage capacity, select this check box.
• Maximum Cartridge Size Enter the maximum size that to allow the device to reach. The default
value is 200 GB. Set the maximum size to the physical c apacity in order to grow to full capacity.
NOTE:
If you decide to change the maximum size at a later date, be aware that you can only increase the
size; you cannot reduce it. To use a device with a smaller maximum size, you must either delete this
device and recreate it using the desired size, or create an additional device that uses the desired size.
• iSCSI Device Name To change the default target name of a device, type the new name in this
field. (All targets must have an iSCSI nam e.)
• Current Car tridge Size Indicates the amount of space currently being used by the device.
• Tape Serial Number The serial number assigned by the GUI to this device.
• Status Indicates the current state of the device.
• iSCSI Host Name Use this field to change the name of the host system that accesses this
standalone tape.
• iSCSI Host IP Address If you want to use an additional level of authentication, use dotted decimal
notation to enter the IP address of the host system in this field.
