Configuration Utility of DIVArchive.

Entering LTO Tape IDs
Introduction
The Tape Storage tab contains vital information about the LTO tapes in the tape library.
You have to add the ID of the LTO tapes that are available in the tape library. This is
necessary because the Tape Storage Controller application that communicates with the
DIVArchive system cannot obtain this list from the DIVArchive database through the
DIVArchive API. You can add single tape IDs by clicking the Add button, but you can
also import a list containing multiple tape IDs by clicking the Import Batch button.
Each tape has a unique ID. This ID can be the ID assigned to the tape by the tape
manufacturer, e.g. T0001, but can also be a custom ID assigned in agreement with the
customer. This custom ID will consist of maximum six characters, e.g. EVS001. The list
containing the tape IDs is a simple text file. The IDs have to be entered in the text file
below each other as exemplified in the image below.
