Figure 15 RMI initialize cartridge
The vTanis will only display cartridge positions with actual cartridges inserted in the unit; an attempt
to format a cartridge which has the write-protect switch set will result in “Cartridge in Slot X
Activated Failed”.
Initializing the RDX
®
cartridge into tape mode or from tape format back to disk format destroys any previously written
user data on the cartridge (the RDX
®
cartridge will contain no user data - be blank).
Re-formatting tape format RDX
®
cartridges back to standard RDX
®
disk
To convert previously tape formatted RDX
®
cartridges back into standard RDX
®
disk format the vTanis
system must be configured as a tape library. The administrator then selects the “MANAGE/Initialize
Cartridge - Disk” tab and selects which cartridge(s) will be formatted back to standard disk format.
Conversation of cartridges from tape emulation back to disk format is done using the FAT32 format.
If the user desires to place a different file system format on the cartridge they may choose to use
windows (right click on cartridge icon in windows desktop) to format with NTFS or other format
options.
