Restarting Automigration/Replication Services

If you replace a tape drive on your physical tape library, you must restart automigration/replication
services afterwards. This resets the services to acknowledge the new tape drive.
1.

In Command View VLS, select the System tab.

2.

In the navigation tree, select Chassis.

3.

Under Maintenance Tasks, select System Maintenance.

4.

In the task bar, select Restart Automigration/Replication Services. The screen displays a
warning.

5.

Select Restart. (You can select Return to cancel the restart.) The screen displays a summary of
the restarted services.

6.

Select Return.

Scanning a SAN Destination Library

For an initial setup, or to force an immediate synchronization of data, scan the appropriate
destination library. This immediately forces the scan of a specific physical library:

NOTE:

The status message is returned as soon as the scan is successfully scheduled; however,

the scan may not yet be complete. There is no way to determine whether the scan has been
performed.

1.

From the navigation tree under Destination Libraries, select the library to scan.

2.

From the task bar, select Scan.

The Destination Library Details screen refreshes, and the message, “Scan of destination library
successfully scheduled” displays.

Editing the Management URL

In order to view the management software for a SAN destination library from the Automigration
interface, provide the destination library URL:
1.

From the navigation tree under Destination Libraries, select the library with the URL to add.

2.

From the task bar, select Edit Management URL.

3.

Type the URL into the Management URL field, then select Submit.

If the management URL is accepted, the Destination Library Details screen refreshes and
displays the message, “The management URL was successfully changed.” If not, the Edit
Management URL screen refreshes and displays the error message, “Please enter a valid
management URL.”

4.

If the URL is not changed, repeat this procedure using a valid URL.

After the Management URL has been successfully added, it creates a link to the management
software. Click on the URL in the Destination Library Details list to launch the management software
in a new window.

Uploading SAN Destination Library or Tape Drive Firmware

To load firmware for a physical library or disk drive to a destination library:
1.

From the navigation tree, select the appropriate destination library or disk drive.

2.

From the task bar, select Upload Firmware.

3.

Select the firmware by either of these methods:

Type the file name in the “Select file to upload:” field.

Select Browse to locate the appropriate file.
