Importing Data from Physical Tapes for Tape Initialization
1.
Complete the export process. See
Exporting Data to Physical tapes for Tape
.
2.
On the target site, open the Automigration/Replication tab and select Import Tapes from the
navigation tree.
3.
Select the export pool you want to import.
4.
From the Local Library list, select the physical library from which to copy the tapes.
5.
Enter the start and end slots from the available slot range.

After the import process completes:
•
The tape import pool is automatically destroyed on the target site
•
The tape export pool is automatically destroyed on the source site
•
The echo copy pool on the source will change to the “Ready” state and
deduplication-enabled replication over the LAN/WAN will begin at the next screen
Forcing Non-Deduplicated Replication
For systems using replication with deduplication, the Non Deduplicated Copy and Forced Non
Deduplicated Copy tasks allow you to schedule a replication job that forces the whole cartridge
(non-deduplicated data) to replicate immediately regardless of whether or not the cartridge is within
the policy window. You can only perform this task when the cartridge is in the Backup Postprocessing
state (Non Deduplicated Copy task), or when the cartridge has not successfully migrated in the
deduplication timeout limit or is being “forced” into a whole cartridge copy (Forced Non
Deduplicated Copy task).
NOTE:
The whole cartridge copy of the data will not deduplicate. This data will consume
additional space on the target VLS until the cartridge is overwritten with new data by the backup
application.
Non Deduplicated Copy Task
In Command View VLS:
1.
On the Automigration/Replication tab, expand the destination library in the navigation tree
and select Slots to open the Summary for Slots screen.
2.
Select Non Deduplicated Copy from the task bar.
3.
On the Non Deduplicated Copy screen, select the slots you want to replicate.
4.
Select Submit.
The system immediately registers the selected cartridges into the queue to replicate the whole
cartridge when resources are available regardless of the policy windows.
