Creating virtual tape libraries
1. When the Create Virtual Library Wizard appears, select the type of library
that you want to emulate (
A
below), enter a Virtual Library Name (
B
) or use
the default, and press Next (
C
).
Select a unique, informative virtual library name. A name that indicates the backup
application media server and the function or usage of the library (such as NDMP
data migration) is one useful possibility.
Select the Sun VTL library type for compatibility with major backup applications,
such as Symantec NetBackup. For compatibility with IBM i‐Series/AS400 clients,
choose the IBM3590, IBM3584, or IBM3583 library type.
2. When the Enter Virtual Drive Information dialog appears, select the type
of tape drive you want to emulate (
D
below), and enter a Virtual Drive Name
Prefix
