Activating the Platter Paths check box for removable media platters in Volume 1 allows you to predefine paths for subsequent volumes in your Disk Group. This option is primarily used with CD Jukebox storage.
After a volume has been promoted, the system will use the predefined platter paths as the location of removable media paths in the new volume, instead of continually prompting you for the new location. Clicking Platter Paths opens the Platter Paths dialog box, allowing you to set up the platter paths for removable media.
The first default volume number displayed in the Volume field is 2. Since you are currently working in Volume 1, Volume 2 is the next possible configurable volume. Be sure that this is the volume number that you want for the platter paths. If you want to configure platter paths for a different volume number, delete the number 2, and type the new volume number in the Volume field.
Type the path for the removable media platters for this volume in the Path for Platter field. To add this new path to the Volume/ Paths for Platter box, click Add.
If you need to modify an existing volume path, select the path from the Volume/ Path for Platter box and then make the necessary changes in the fields. You can delete a path from the box by selecting that path and clicking Remove. When you are finished predefining platter paths, click Close.
