Figure 18 Internal Architecture of the VLS (VLS9X00 Shown) This allows any cartridge to be loaded into any virtual tape drive on any node, so the virtual drives in a library can be on different nodes from the virtual library robot. Therefore, the virtual drives for a library can be configured across multiple nodes as shown in Figure 19 (page 53), and as the device is scaled up (by adding more nodes and arrays) the virtual library can be expanded with it by adding more drives and more cartridges to the existing virtual library. (This requires the robot to be initially created with additional spare empty drive bays and empty slots.) Figure 19 Virtual Drives across Multiple Nodes How it Works 53
