Forcing a Replication Job

The Copy Now task allows you to schedule a replication (or automigration) job that forces the cartridge
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 holding in the Out of Synch state.

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 Copy Now from the task bar.

3.

On the Copy Now screen, select the slots you want to replicate.

4.

Select Submit.

The system immediately registers the selected cartridges into the queue to replicate when resources
are available regardless of the policy windows.

Placing a Library Offline or Online

Place the library offline in order to deploy firmware, create a support ticket, or run a library assessment
test. You can place a LAN/WAN destination library offline as well. To do so:

1.

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