	Chapter 23. Configuring Virtual Libraries

SYNOPSIS

vlib add name lib_type vtdt_id slots drives transports [customer_id]
[sp_id] [port_id][host_id] [vendor_id] [product_id] [auto_move_to_slot]
[enable_cloning][enable_disk_compression] [enable_tape_smart_sizing] 
[fully_load_with_vtapes][start_vtape_name] [disk_allocation_per_tape] 
[auto_assign_first_values][first_slot] [first_drive] [first_mailbox] 
[first_transport] [enable_shadow_tape] [shadow_tape_retention_time]

ARGUMENTS

name	Name of the virtual library that you want to create.
lib_type	Library type that you want to create.
vtdt_id	Virtual tape drive type.
slots	Slot count of the virtual library.
drives	Drive count of the virtual library.
transports	Transport count of the virtual library.
customer_id	Customer name (if use customer is enabled).
sp_id	Storage pool name (if Use Storage Pool is enabled).
port_id	Port on which the library will be visible.
host_id	Host to which the virtual library access is to be given.
vendor_id	Vendor ID if tape drive type is Custom.
product_id	Product ID if tape drive type is Custom.
auto_move_to_slot	NearStore VTL automatically moves a created or imported virtual tape from the entry port to an available slot. If this is not set, the backup application moves it.
enable_cloning	NearStore VTL creates a physical copy of the virtual tape each time that the virtual tape that has been modified is removed from the virtual drive.
enable_disk_compression	Enables disk compression for tapes.
enable_tape_smart_sizing	Set if you want compression enabled.
fully_load_with_vtapes	Set this if you want all slots to be loaded with tapes.
start_vtape_name	Name of the start VTV if Fully Load is set.
disk_allocation_per_tape	The amount of disk space that NearStore VTL should allocate per virtual tape.
auto_assign_first_values	If set, VTL assigns values to the first slot, the first drive, the first mailbox, and the first transport.
first_slot	The value for the first slot if auto_assign_first_values is not set.
first_drive	The value for the first drive if auto_assign_first_values is not set.
first_mailbox	The value for the first mailbox if auto_assign_first_values is not set.
first_transport	The value for the first transport if auto_assign_first_values is not set.
enable_shadow_tape	If Use Shadow Tape is enabled in Advanced Options, you can enable it at the virtual library level.
shadow_tape_retention_time	The value for retention time for deleted VTVs if Use Shadow Pool is enabled.

RESULT

If all the arguments are valid, the vlib add command creates a new virtual library with user-specified values. If any of the arguments is invalid, vlib add returns a non-zero exit status and relevant error message.
