When creating dual port virtual devices, the LUN numbering on both ports follows the conventions for
default LUN numbering (see

device paths. Follow the operating system LUN requirements (see
and
restrictions) 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
environment. See the HP StorageWorks 300 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:
1.
Open a Command View VLS session and log in as the administrator. See
View VLS session from Command View
2.
Click the System tab.
3.
Select Chassis in the navigation tree.
4.
Click Create Virtual Library in the task bar.
The Create Virtual Library Wizard opens

5.
Select the FC host port and node on which to present the virtual library.
Only one port or port pair may be selected.
6.
Select the type of tape library to emulate.
