Add a VTL from another FastStream VTL

If you want one FastStream VT 5300 to recognize a library from another FastStream device, the FastStream VT 5300 must discover it through mapping. When you created your first library, the media changer and tape drive LUNs are mapped automatically to one of two ports. A second library is mapped to the other port.

Note

The FastStream VT 5300 supports two libraries, one on each port.
