A VTL (Virtual Tape Library) is a separate physical device attached to your IBM Power system. Often via FC (Fiber Channel) and then most often through a switch. A VTL can have one or more 'tape drives' in it. It emulates popular IBM physical tape libraries but without any physical tapes.
You can see an example of a VTL and a physical tape library at

For an example of virtual tape (image catalog stuff) see:

But basically it stores 'tapes' as stream file entries in your IFS.
