[over_allocation] [enable_backend_0d] [enable_eep]
[enable_auto_move_from_eep_to_slots] [enable_move_to_eep_after_cloning]
[enable_move_to_eep_after_export] [deferred_cloning] [use_acsls]

ARGUMENTS

customer Provides the functionality to set up and administer multiple customer accounts.
sp Gives you the ability to group physical disks into mutually exclusive storage resources.
tape_validation Turns on physical tape validation for the appliance.
tape_pick_list Each time the backup application requests a tape (barcode) that is not in a virtual library, NearStore VTL generates an action. This action requests that you load the physical tape, identified by a barcode, into an available physical tape drive.
host_access Enables and disables device access on a host-by-host basis.
port_mapping Provides the ability to make virtual devices available only on specific front-end ports.
volume_set_addressing Turn on this feature if you are using an operating system that requires volume set addressing.
enable_shadow_tape Enables the creation of shadow tapes.
over_allocation When you enable this feature, NearStore VTL allocates disk space to virtual tapes as needed, regardless of how many tapes you initially create.
enable_backend_0d Uses Port 0d for backend devices. (VTL700 only)
enable_eep With EEP enabled, the NearStore VTL can automatically manage the physical tape library entry/exit port to move physical tapes to the port, and to move tapes from the port to appropriate slots.
enable_auto_move_from_eep_

to_slots

If enabled, the NearStore VTL automatically moves physical tapes from the entry/exit port to a slot.
enable_move_to_eep_after_

cloning

If enabled, after the NearStore VTL finishes cloning a virtual tape to a physical tape, the physical tape is automatically moved from the library tape drive to the library entry/exit port.
enable_move_to_eep_after_export If enabled, after the NearStore VTL finishes exporting a virtual tape to a physical tape, the physical tape is automatically moved from the library tape drive to the library entry/exit port.
deferred_cloning If enabled, the span of time during which the NearStore VTL will not create clones. Any changes that are made to the virtual tapes during this time will be held in queue until the deferred cloning time period has expired.
use_acsls Use ACSLS to control physical libraries.

RESULT

A successful options set command sets options to user-specified values. If the arguments are invalid, options set returns a non-zero exit status and relevant error message.
