Creating a VTL type container

Viewing VTL tape information

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

* 
NOTE: Only four VTL type containers can be created on a DR Series system.
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 containers page is displayed.
2.
In the Action menu in the upper right corner of the page, click Add Container.
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.
* 
NOTE: The DR Series system does not support spaces or the following special characters in container names: /, #, or @. VTL container names cannot exceed 32 characters in length, must start with a letter, and can be composed of any combination of the following characters.
•
A-Z (uppercase letters)
•
a-z (lowercase letters)
•
0-9 (numbers). (Do not start a container name with a number.)
•
underscore (_) special characters
•
hyphen (-) special character
* 
NOTE: iSCSI VTL containers do not support the following characters:
•
ASCII CONTROL CHARACTERS and SPACE through ,
•
ASCII /
•
ASCII ; through @
•
ASCII [ through `
•
ASCII { through DEL
6.
Click Next.
7.
For Robot Model, select the type of virtual tape library for the VTL container.
◦
STK L700—This is the standard emulation of the StorageTek L700 library.
◦
DELL DR_L700—This is the Dell OEM version of the StorageTek L700 library.
◦
QUEST DR_L700 - This is a Quest OEM version of StorageTek L700 library.
* 
NOTE: The Quest and Dell OEM versions of the VTL are supported only with Symantec Backup Exec and Netbackup data management applications (DMAs).
8.
For Tape Size, select the size of the tapes for your tape library from one of the following options.
◦
800 GB
◦
400 GB
◦
200 GB
◦
100 GB
◦
50 GB
◦
10 GB
* 
NOTE: Creating a VTL container type creates a tape library of type Storage Tek L700 with 10 tape drives of type IBM Ultrium LTO-4 and 60 tape slots holding 60 tapes. Additional tapes can be added as required. For more information, see the topic later in this guide, “VTL and DR Series Specifications.”
9.
For VTL Access Protocol, select one of the following options.
◦
NDMP
◦
iSCSI
◦
FC. Note: This protocol is only available for the DR4300 or DR6300 systems.
◦
No Access. Note: Select this option if you are not ready to select a protocol.
* 
NOTE: The DR Series system allows you to create a VTL container type without configuring it with a specific protocol (that is, by selecting No Access). You can configure the container at a later date.
10.
For Access Control, do one of the following:
◦
If you selected NDMP as the access protocol, type the DMA’s FQDN or IP address that will access the VTL container.
◦
If you selected iSCSI as the access protocol, type the FQDN, IQN, or IP address of the iSCSI initiator that can access the VTL container.
◦
If you selected FC as the access protocol, type the port initiator WWPN(s) for accessing the VTL container.
11.
If you selected NDMP as the access protocol, for Marker Type, select the appropriate marker that supports your DMA from one of the following options.
◦
None — Disables marker detection for the container.
◦
Unix Dump — Supports the Amanda marker, among others.
12.
If you selected iSCSI as the access protocol, for Marker Type, select the appropriate marker that supports your DMA from one of the following options.
◦
None — Disables marker detection for the container.
◦
Auto — Automatically detects CommVault, Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM), ARCserve, and HP Data Protector marker types. In addition, select this option if you need to support EMC Networker 2.0.
◦
ARCserve—Supports the ARCserve marker.
◦
BridgeHead — Supports the BridgeHead HDM marker.
◦
CommVault—Supports the CommVault marker.
◦
HP DataProtector—Supports the HP Data Protector marker.
◦
Networker — Supports EMC Networker 3.0. If you need to support EMC Networker 2.0, select Auto.
◦
TSM—Supports the TSM marker.
◦
Unix Dump — Supports the Amanda marker, among others.
* 
NOTE: Improper marker selection can result in non-optimal savings. As a best practice, if you have only one type of DMA with traffic directed to a container, it is best to select the marker type that supports your DMA. Conversely, as a best practice, if you have traffic from a DMA that is not one of the supported marker types, it is best to disable marker detection for the container by selecting the None marker type.
13.
Click Next.
A Configuration Summary of the options you selected for creating the container appears.
14.
Click Save.

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:

container --update --name <container name> --no_of_drives <1–60>
* 
NOTE: For more information about using the command line interface, see the DR Series Command Line Reference Guide.

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.

1.
On the Containers page in the list of containers, select the VTL container for which you want to view detailed information.
2.
Click the Tape icon.
The Library Slot and Tape Cartridges and the Library Devices panes are displayed.

Editing container settings

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

1.
On the left navigation menu, click Containers, and then select the storage group that contains the container you want to modify. (If you are only using the DefaultGroup storage group in your DR Series system, you do not need to select a group.)
The Containers page is displayed.
2.
In the list of containers, select the container you want to modify, and then click the Edit icon.
The Edit Container pane is displayed.
3.
Modify the marker and connection type options for the selected container as needed.
◦
For information about NFS or CIFS connection type container settings, see the topic, Creating an NFS or CIFS Connection Type Container, and make the corresponding changes.
◦
For information about VTL container type settings, see the options available in the topic, Creating a VTL Type Container, and make the corresponding changes.
◦
For information about OST or RDS connection type container settings, see the options available in the topic, Creating an OST or RDS Connection Type Container, and make the corresponding changes.
* 
CAUTION: If you are changing the marker type on a DR6000 system and you are using Rapid CIFS, you must remount the share on the client after you change the marker type.
* 
NOTE: The DR Series system administrator who manages the DR Series system has a different set of privileges than the CIFS administrator user. Only the DR Series system administrator can change the password for the CIFS administrator user. To change the password that allows access for the CIFS administrator user, use the DR Series system CLI authenticate --set --user administrator command. For more information, see the DR Series System Command Line Reference Guide.
4.
After the container type settings have been modified, click Save.

Deleting a container

To delete an existing container that contains data, complete the following steps.

* 
CAUTION: Before deleting a container, you should first carefully consider whether you need to preserve the data in the container. Before deleting any DR Series container that contains deduplicated data, you should take steps to preserve this data using another means of long-term retention. Once a container is deleted, the deduplicated data cannot be retrieved.
1.
On the left navigation menu, click Containers, and then select the storage group that contains the container you want to delete. (If you are only using the DefaultGroup storage group in your DR Series system, you do not need to select a group.)
The Containers page is displayed.
2.
In the list of containers, select the container you want to delete, and then click the Delete icon.
3.
In the Warning dialog box, click Yes to confirm the deletion.
