What is DLM VTE?
I know Dell/EMC DLm, former Bustech.
I don't know VTE.
And I heard from EMC guys they do not support any tape attached to their
DLm. Only disk, only EMC family.

One thing I did not add the tape drive must be a standalone LTO drive connected
to the VTE

I meant I am planning to get that working but not sure if the physical tape
vendors can support these architecture.

I hope that solution continues to work for you. You are correct
but EMC / Dell decided to drop support for that option 5 or more years ago.
At the time they did not inform anyone including the DLm team. They did not
remove the hardware or the code that provides that function only removed it
from the documentation.
As stated before it is a good solution as long as 1 tape drive
will work for you and I hope you can continue to use it.

Just in my case attach DLM VTE to physical tape and send as generic backup
to any LTO drives

Actually, most/many of the generic distributed storage devices (NetApp
for
example) allow for physical tape to be attached to it. So, if you
write your virtual-tape to some generic storage device - the ability
to have a tape copy created is available to you. I know that Luminex,
Optica and Broadcom Vtape all allow for the writing of Virtual-Tape to
any generic storage device you may already have in-use in your data
center. Then, simply attach any LTO tape library to the NetApp device
and you have exportable physical tape backups that can be sent
off-site for air-gap storage requirements.

Hello Peter,
I'm not sure about your exact use case, but you can use BMC AMI
Cloud with our Cloud Data Sets feature to send your tape data
directly to cloud object storage.
If you choose the public cloud option, then the storage is already
external to your site and should meet whatever you're looking for.
Furthermore, object storage enables you to create immutable buckets
where you output your data.

Feel free to reach out if you'd like some more information.
