What is the best way to configure a HP VLS6200 virtual tape library in an 
environment where I have one networker server and 4 networker storage nodes? I 
can think of three options.
 
(1) I am thinking that the best way to configure this is to create one tape 
library and 10 virtual tape devices. I will then present 2 virtual tape devices 
to each of the storage nodes and server.
 
(2) One other option is to create one virtual tape library and 4 virtual tape 
devices. I will then configure the tape devices as shared tape devices that are 
presented to the 4 storage nodes and server
 
(3) another option is to create 5 virtual tape libraries and each library will 
have 2 virtual tape devices. one library will be presented to each of the 
storage nodes and server.
 
Any comments on the 3 options above are greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks, Mark
