A Virtual Tape Library (VTL) is a disk-based library that emulates the
traditional tape devices and formats, and can be installed onto any
disk space. Refer to the manufacturer's documentation to see if a
disk-based storage subsystem supports VTL emulation mode.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions to create the virtual tape library and
make sure that the MediaAgent
can detect the virtual arm changer and the drives created.
Contact your software
provider for the latest list of virtual tape libraries supported.
The NearStore virtual tape libraries
require special configuration. See the following sections
