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 9000 series 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:
