VTS (Virtual Tape Server) is an IBM hardware component that uses fault tolerant RAID disks and IBM Magstar tape libraries to manage a series of virtual tape drives and virtual (logical) volumes for data sets at a site.
Control-M/Tape handles volumes that are inside VTS in the same way in that it handles all other removable media. Control-M/Tape manages the retention of VTS volumes and informs VTS using the Control-M/Tape robot interface when a logical volume expires.
The Control-M/Tape interface for IBM robots is used to keep the VTS database synchronized with the Control-M/Tape Media Database.
