Setting Virtual Media Attributes
Use this procedure to set (toggle) the Write Protect attribute on virtual media. When Write Protect is on (set
to True), data cannot be written to the selected virtual media. When Write Protect is off (set to False), data
can be written to the selected virtual media.
Note
1
Scratch media cannot be write-protected in the Pathlight VX so they are not
listed on the Operations - Virtual Media Attributes screen.
From the menu bar, select Operations > Media Management > Virtual > Attributes.
The Operations - Virtual Media Attributes screen appears and lists all virtual media in the Pathlight
VX. For each virtual medium, its barcode, media type, write protect setting, and associated virtual library
are shown.

Select the virtual media on which to change the Write Protect attribute by checking the box next to the
media.
3
Click Apply.
The Progress Window appears.
Note

Once the Progress Window appears, you cannot cancel or stop this action.
However, you can close the window by clicking the X in the upper-right of the
screen, but confirmation of success or failure is NOT shown.
•
If Success appears in the Progress Window: The Write Protect attribute of the selected virtual
media was successfully toggled (changed).
•
If Failure appears in the Progress Window: The Write Protect attribute of the selected virtual
media was NOT toggled (changed). To view the troubleshooting procedures, click View
Recommended Actions. To view the error details, click Error Log for information on why the Write
Protect attribute was not toggled on the selected media. To toggle the Write Protect attribute on
selected virtual media, repeat Step 1 through Step 3.
