Depending on the version of CDL/EDL you have there is the ability to enable an 
embedded storage node on the EDL. For the DL410 you have to be at a certain 
version to be able to use the ESN and it might have to be licensed. Once you're 
at the right version and have any licensing straightened out then you can set 
it up in Networker like any other storage node.

Subject: Re: [Networker] VCB proxy as a storage node

UNder what circumstances can the EDL be used as a networker storage node so 
that networker can manage the cloning process? We have a cLARIIONDisk Library. 
I thought that if i used the CDL to manage cloning then networker would not be 
aware of the location of that tapes and that i would require a seperate tape 
library conneected to the CDL to hold the cloned tapes.
   
  At the moment we clone virtual tapes from CDL to physical library managed by 
networker. We then re-label CDL virtual tapes to free up space on the CDL.

Actually, our VTL's are EDL's with embedded storage nodes. We are happy overall 
with their performance and feature set, but since you mentioned it, it would be 
nice if they integrated with EBA, had a command-line interface that we could 
access (ssh to the units is not allowed to mere admins), and/or did de-dupe. Of 
course, you probably needed to hold a few features back for future upgrades!
