VTL page

Select VTL from the B6200 StoreOnce menu item to display the current VTL configuration.
Once on the VTL page administrators can create and configure VTL devices and cartridges; operators
can use this page to view VTL devices and cartridges. VTL devices are always Fibre Channel
libraries.
NOTE: With the current version of the software there are no equivalent CLI commands available
for the tasks described in this chapter.
The top half of this page shows the available service sets. Click on the service set to display the
Fibre Channel Settings for the VTL devices configured for that service set in the lower half of the
page.

16 VTL (Virtual Tape Libraries)
Description
There are two FC ports on each node and therefore two ports available for each service
set.
The default is Auto, which is the recommended option. For users who wish to fix the
speed, other available values are: 8Gbs (preferred), 4Gbs or 2Gbs (not recommended)
The default is N_Port, when a single target device creates many virtual devices on a
fabric attach port. N_Port requires the switch port to support NPIV (N_Port ID
Virtualisation). No other options are available.
