HP StoreOnce Backup - Manual (Page 64)

Slot mapping details
The tabs at the bottom of this page show more detailed mapping information for the selected library
and slot mapping.
Mapping details tab
This tab details mapping details between source and target libraries. If a source library is selected,
it will indicate if Recovery is in process. If a target library is selected, it will indicate if the target
library is visible to the host. All other information is identical for both source and target libraries.
For example, use this tab to determine:
•
The number of mapped slots and replication status.
•
The average throughput of data.
NOTE: Multiple VTL Library sources can replicate into a single VTL Library target offering
consolidation benefits. This process is known as Fan-in.
Users with an Admin login may edit the Mapping Name on this tab.
Slot details
This tab displays details for each mapped slot in the selected slot mapping. It includes average
throughput data for each slot. When selecting a source library, users with an Admin login can:
•
Edit the Target Slot to which a Source Slot is mapped.
•
Enable the Recover First checkbox, which enables a user to request that a mapped slot be
recovered from Target to Source, if required (this is sometimes known as reverse replication).
Running the replication wizard (virtual tape devices)
When selecting a non-replicating library, you can run the Replication or Recovery Wizard.
The Replication Wizard is used to create new mappings between non-replicating libraries (which
become Replication Source Libraries) and either existing or new Target Libraries.
IMPORTANT: The Replication Wizard does not allow creation of an encrypted target library. To
replicate from an encrypted Source library, first create the Target library and enable encryption
so the Target library is also encrypted.
1. Create a non-replicating library on the Source Appliance.
2. Create a backup rotation scheme and allow the first full backup to run.
3. Decide how to seed the first full backup on the Target Appliance. Are you seeding across the
WAN or can you colocate the Target Appliance on the same LAN as the Source Appliance?
See the HP StoreOnce Backup system Concepts and Configuration Guide for a more detailed
discussion about seeding.
4. Go to the Replication—VT Mappings page and select a non-replicating library to be converted
to a Replication Source Library.
5. Click Start Replication Wizard. At the Welcome screen, click Next.
