Creating tape drives NOTE: If you add a virtual tape drive to a library after another library has been created, the default LUN number assigned to the tape drive will not be consecutive with the other virtual tape drives in the same library. To correct this, restart the VLS device emulations. See Restarting the VLS device emulations. The VLS software will change the virtual device LUN numbers on the VLS so that all the default tape drive LUNs in a library are consecutive. NOTE: A virtual library may only contain one type of tape drive. To add a tape drive(s) to a virtual library: 1. If you are already in the Create Library Wizard window, click Create Tape Drive(s). The Tape Drive Parameters window opens. 2. If not: a. Click the System tab. b. Select the library in the navigation tree to which you want to add tape drives. c. Click Create Tape Drive in the task bar. The Tape Drive Parameters window opens (Figure 41). Figure 41 Create Virtual Library Wizard window (5 of 12) 3. Select the type of physical tape drive to emulate. 4. Enter the FC host port and node on which to present the tape drive(s) in the Port Mapping box. Only one port or port pair may be selected. 5. Click Next Step. The next Tape Drive Parameters window opens (Figure 42). HP StorageWorks 75

Creating tape drives
NOTE:
If you add a virtual tape drive to a library after another library has been created, the default LUN
number assigned to the tape drive will not be consecutive with the other virtual tape drives in the same
library. To correct this, restart the VLS device emulations. See
Restarting the VLS device emulations
.
The VLS software will change the virtual device LUN numbers on the VLS so that all the default tape
drive LUNs in a library are consecutive.
NOTE:
A virtual library may only contain one type of tape drive.
To add a tape drive(s) to a virtual library:
1.
If you are already in the
Create Library Wizard
window, click

Create Tape Drive
in the task bar.
The
Tape Drive Parameters
window opens (
Figure 41
).

Port Mapping
box.
Only one port or port pair may be selected.
