Replacing a Library
When a library fails, or when the library robotics card must be changed, the replacement will
have a different serial number from the original. To assign it the same pools, mapping, etc. as the
original:
NOTE:
While the virtual tapes are in the firesafe, scheduled backups for those tapes will not
occur.
1.
Make a note of all pool configuration information for pools associated with the library to be
replaced.
2.
Delete all pools associated with the library (see
).
NOTE:
Deleting the pools automatically moves all virtual cartridges from within the pool to
the firesafe.
3.
Unmanage the physical library to be replaced (see
Managing and Unmanaging a Destination
).
4.
Replace the library or robotics card.
5.
Manage the new physical library (see
Managing and Unmanaging a Destination Library
).
6.
Manually recreate the storage pools associated with the new library using the information
written down at the beginning of this procedure.
The virtual tapes that were moved into the firesafe will automatically return to their previous
locations.
