The Virtual Library configuration option lets you configure or modify the configuration of a virtual library in the Windows environment.
To configure a virtual library, the Tape Engine must be stopped. If your Tape Engine is running, a pop-up window is displayed to allow you to stop the engine.
The Virtual Library option is used to set up all virtual libraries. The option lets you define virtual libraries and their parameters, including the number of slots and drives required for the library. At minimum, a virtual library must have at least one slot and one drive associated with it.
Because the Virtual Library feature works on existing configured libraries, you must install the Arcserve Backup Tape Library Option and configure your physical libraries before configuring virtual libraries.
Note: You must separate WORM (Write Once Read Many) and non-WORM media in the same library using the Virtual Library configuration option. If WORM and regular media are not separated, the Job Manager treats all media as WORM media. However, the Device Manager can manage these media correctly.
For more information see Configure Libraries to Function as VTLs.
