ServerA's devconfig file will have an entry for the virtual volume device class on ServerB. So it knows where to go to get it. It's the same concept as with a physical tape in a physical library, with a little tweak for the Virtual part.
I've done it twice, but it's been a while. Once it worked just fine, the other time the password was out of sync to access ServerB from ServerA, so we had to reset it (I don't remember the procedure, but it was in the Admin Guide/Reference).
