Creating and adding a Virtual Tape Library

You can use the configuration wizard to create a virtual tape library on the NetVault Server or a SmartClient. When creating a VTL, you can choose the number of virtual tape drives and slots, and specify the size of the virtual tapes. After the device is created, it is automatically added to the server.

To create and add a Virtual Tape Library:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Guided Configuration, and then on the NetVault Configuration Wizard page, click Add Storage Devices.
— or —
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Devices, and then click Add Device.
2
On the Add Storage Devices page, select the Virtual tape library/media changer option, and click Next.
3
In the list of NetVault machines, select the machine on which you want to create the device, and click Next.
4
On the Add Virtual Tape Library page, provide the following details.

Option
Description

Choose the location on disk where you wish to create the new device

Enter the location where you want to create the VTL, or use the Browse button to select a location.

When entering a location, make sure that the path is already created on the selected machine. NetVault does not automatically create any non-existing directories in the path.

To create a path, click Browse, select a parent folder, and then click Add new folder, After you click OK, the new folder is added to the parent folder and can be used as the location for the new device.

Choose a name for the device

Specify a unique name for the device.

NOTE: The VTL name does not support non-Latin characters.

Device display name

Specify a display name for the device.

Choose a 5 character media barcode prefix

The NetVault Server automatically generates a barcode prefix and assigns it to the VTL media. If you want to change it, type a unique code for the device.

Specify the media capacity

Type or select the size of the virtual tape. The media size is specified in GiB. Each slot contains a piece of media of the given size. The default value is 32GiB.

Choose number of drives

Type or select the number of drives for the VTL. You can create maximum of 100 drives. The default value is two drives.

Choose number of slots

Type or select the total number of slots that hold the media. You can specify a maximum of 999 slots. The default value is 16 slots.

5
Click Next to create and add the device.
 
* 
NOTE: The amount of time it takes to create a VTL depends on the media capacity and number of slots specified for the VTL. The time required is proportional to the VTL size.
6
After the device is successfully added and initialized, a message is displayed.

Re-adding a previously created VTL

You can use the configuration wizard to find previously created virtual tape libraries and add the devices to the server. You can use this method to add a device that was removed from the server.

To re-add a previously created VTL:
1
Start the device configuration wizard.
2
On the Add Storage Devices page, select the Virtual tape library/media changer option and the Re-add previously generated virtual device check box.
3
In the list of NetVault machines, select the machine on which the device was created. Click Next to scan the selected client and display the discovered VTLs.
4
In the Device list, select the device that you want to add, and click Next.
After the device is successfully added and initialized, a message is displayed.

About virtual standalone drive

Virtual standalone drives emulate tape drives on disk. Virtual standalone drives are included in NetVault as a licensable option.

With these devices, you have the flexibility to perform quick backups to disks, and during off-peak hours migrate or duplicate the backups to physical devices for off-site storage. The Media Manager does not distinguish between virtual and physical tapes. Therefore, you can use the same process to set up backup policies, including retirement period and rotation schemes. Virtual standalone drives are represented as directories on the disk. The virtual tapes reside as media files in the directory.
