Abstract:
A virtual tape system utilizes multiple virtual tape libraries. Some virtual elements of the virtual tape libraries are connected elements, such as virtual import/export slots, that logically connect two or more virtual tape libraries. Virtual media changers of the virtual tape libraries can be commanded, as if physical media changers, to virtually move virtual media, such as virtual tapes, within and among the virtual tape libraries. By moving a virtual medium to a connected element, the virtual medium can be virtually moved from one virtual tape library to another.
