Syntax. If the parameter is not defined, the default Generic is used. The characteristics for
the different emulation types are described in the following table.

Note also that options exist for IBM tape emulation as well.
• DriveEmulation – This optional parameter defines the type of physical drive the virtual tape
drive emulates. The values are defined in the Command Syntax. If the parameter is not defined,
the default value corresponds to the default drive type defined by the library’s emulation type.
• DrivePort – This optional parameter allows different port ranges to be assigned to the robotic
arm and virtual drives and is only valid if the library interface is Fibre Channel. It defines the
physical Fibre Channel ports through which robotic arm commands to the virtual library are
transmitted. The value is defined by a number or a set of numbers corresponding to the ports
as defined by the vtl show ports command. More than one port can be defined by
separating the with commas. If not defined, the value equals the LibPort values. A value of
zero indicates that no port should be assigned to the Fibre Channel interface.
• NoOfSlots – This optional parameter defines the number of cartridge slots in the virtual library
created by this command. The number of slots must conform to the library emulation type. The
value has a maximum of 16,384 characters. If not included, the default value is defined by
the library emulation type.
• CartSize – This optional parameter defines the size in GB of the cartridges to be created in
the virtual library by this command. The values are defined in the Command Syntax. If not
included, the default value is that defined by the library emulation parameter value.
• NoOfDrives – This optional parameter defines the number of drives in the virtual library created
by this command. The number of drives must conform to the library emulation type. The value
has a maximum of 192 characters. If not included, the default value is defined by the library
emulation type.
• Port – This optional parameter defines the physical Fibre Channel ports which are assigned
to the library’s robotic arm and virtual drives and is only valid if the library interface is Fibre
Channel. The value is defined by a number or a set of numbers (separated by commas)
corresponding to the ports as defined by the vtl show ports command. All the ports listed
are assigned to the robotic arm. If only one port value is assigned to this parameter, the port
is assigned to all the virtual drives in the library. If more than one part number is defined, the
ports are alternatively assigned to the drive in the library in a round robin fashion. If not
defined, the value is the set of all Fibre Channel ports available to the service set (all the ports
listed by the vtl show ports command. A value of zero indicates that no port should be
assigned to the Fibre Channel interface.
• iSCSIName – This parameter defines the iSCSI initiator name and is required if the interface
is iSCSI. If the VTL’s interface is not iSCSI, defining this generates an error. The value is a text
string with a maximum of 224 characters. If not defined, the default is a null string.
• iAuthenticationEnable – This optional parameter defines if the CHAP (challenge handshake
authentication protocol) initiator log on is enabled. The value for this parameter is either yes
or no. If not defined, the default value is no.
