Manage SAN Client Groups for VTLs
Use the following CLI commands to manage SAN Client Groups for Virtual Tape Libraries.
Note: VTL is only available on certain DXi models. To see if VTL is enabled for your system, check the Utilities > License Keys page in the remote management console. To use VTL commands, at least one Fibre Channel card must be installed in the DXi. (Exception: You can always use VTL failback commands, even when no Fibre Channel card is installed.)
