mapping for a dual port device (see
(v2.x)" on page 128), the defined LUN number for that device for a specified host applies to both
device paths. Follow the operating system LUN requirements (see
and Restrictions" on page 121) when configuring the paths.

Creating a Virtual Library

Before creating a virtual library, you must first:
• Determine the best way to manage VLS virtual library and tape drive LUNs for your environment
(see "Managing Virtual Device
• Determine the best way to configure virtual libraries and tape drives on your VLS for your environ-
ment. See the HP StorageWorks 300 and 12000 Gateway virtual library system solutions guide.
You can configure any combination of virtual tape libraries and virtual tape drives up to the maximum
number supported on the VLS. You can configure one node with up to 16 libraries with a total of up
to 128 tape drives. With multiple nodes, a single library can span across nodes.
To create a new virtual library, from Command View VLS:
1. Click the System tab.
2. Select Chassis in the navigation tree.
3. Select Create Virtual Library in the task bar.
The Create Virtual Library Wizard opens

.
4. Select the Fibre Channel host port and node on which to present the virtual library.
Only one port or port pair may be selected.
5. Select the type of tape library to emulate.
NOTE:
The only library emulation Veritas supports for use with Netbackup is the HP VLS emulation.
IBM supports using the HP VLS emulation for TSM version 5.5.1 or higher. The HP VLS
emulation is not intended for use with other backup applications.
