Robotic Tape Library Simulator

[surya_prakash1]

Hi All,

           Am Planning to work on Robotic Tape Simulator, that can be used in Symantec Backup Exec 2012/2014. Does anybody know any software where Robotic Tape Library can be created.

I tried working on Firestreamer and Startwind but of no use. It shows only Drives and not slots. I need a software where in Backup Exec i can configure it as a Robotic Tape Library. Kindly Suggest.

I tried working on the below mentioned softwares, but hasn't got any solutions.

1. Firestreamer

2. Nexenta

3. Starwind

4. StarBurn.

Advanced Thanks .

Any VTL that offers a robotic library inquiry string that is on the HCL will probably work for learning or testing in a lab environment.

None of the ones listed above would be officially supported, so I would not recommend the use of something that is unsupported in a production environment.
