"""
A :term:`virtual tape resource` defines the virtualized view of a storage
adapter that is backing a :term:`tape link` as seen by a partition.

Virtual tape resource objects are element resources of a tape link. The
canonical URI of a virtual tape resource is of the form
``/api/tape-links/{tape-link-id}/virtual-tape-resources/``
``{virtual-tape-resource-id}``, where the owning tape link remains the parent
element and the tape link itself is a top-level resource whose conceptual
parent is the :term:`Console`.

A virtual tape resource is created as tape link resources are fulfilled and
made available to attached partitions. It provides the partition-specific view
of the backing adapter port, allocated WWPN information, and the assigned
device number.

Tape links and virtual tape resources can only be managed on CPCs that support
the tape library management feature (SE version >= 2.15.0).
