To create a virtual tape library (VTL) type container, complete the following steps.

1.
On the left navigation menu, select Containers, and then select the storage group for which you want to create a container. (If you are only using the DefaultGroup storage group in your DR Series system, you do not need to select a group.)
The Add Container pane is displayed.
3.
For Storage Group, select the storage group to which you want to add this container. (If you are only using the DefaultGroup storage group in your DR Series system, you do not need to select a group.)
4.
For Access Protocol, select Virtual Tape Library (VTL).
5.
For Container Name, type the name of the container.
6.
Click Next.
8.
For Tape Size, select the size of the tapes for your tape library from one of the following options.
9.
For VTL Access Protocol, select one of the following options.

You can add additional tapes to the library after container creation by editing the container in the GUI or by using the CLI command:

vtl --update_carts –-name <name> --add --no_of_tapes <number>

For Fibre Channel, after a VTL is created with the default of 10 tape drives, you can add or delete drives in the library by using the following CLI command:

Viewing VTL tape information

Once you have created a virtual tape library (VTL) type container, you can view the detailed tape information of the VTL. This includes information about the vendor and model information for medium changer and tape drives. To view VTL information, complete the following steps.

Editing container settings

To modify the settings of an existing container, complete the following steps:
