• Limited browsing, scanning, or stating.
• Limited metadata manipulation (including rename).
Usage diverging from these characteristics must be qualified to ensure

Virtual Tape Storage
A virtual tape storage or virtual tape library (VTL) presentation allows
the storage space on these hard drives to appear to the backup
application as tape cartridges (DLT or LTO). Data is stored on the hard
drives through an interface that appears as a tape library, with virtual
cartridges, virtual drives, and a virtual changer mechanism. A DXi8500
can be configured to present multiple VTL interfaces of different sizes
and types at once. This allows backup applications to recognize and
integrate a DXi series system into a data center environment just like
one or more physical tape libraries.
