EMC/Dell and Luminex Virtual Tape Libraries

Tape Manager directly supports some EMC/Dell and Luminex Virtual Tape Library (VTL) devices, through the use of mount display messages, without the involvement of the Tape Manager LMM or other automated tape-related service machines (such as DFSMS Removable Media Services). The devices are defined to Tape Manager as manual devices. The VTL is designed to automatically mount volumes when manual mount display messages are in a specific format.

Tape Manager supports the Luminex CGX family of VTL devices, including CGX, MVTi, and MVTe.
