A Zone is a TapeTrack Object which represents a physical storage location. Once created a Zone is then mapped to one of more Repositories to facilitate one or more contiguous physical storage locations for a given virtual location.

This section will explain to you how to create a Zone, and will also explain in detail how to set each of the Zone Properties.

From the Main Menu, select Administration→Zone Administration.

From the Zone Tab, click in the Zone List Window, and then Right click to select Add from the Context Menu.

In the Identity tab add:

• Zone ID
• Zone description
• Total number of slots
• Number of slots per row
• Customer filter (optional)

Click Save.

Once created zones can be applied to a repository

Slotting can be done manually or automatically.
