HP 9000 Virtual Library System - Manual (Page 75)

1. On the Automigration/Replication tab, select “Not migrated in Deduplication timeout
limit/Forced Copies” from the Summary of All Cartridges screen.
2. Select Forced Non Deduplicated Copy from the task bar.
3. On the Forced Non Deduplicated Copy screen, select the cartridges 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.
Pausing, Resuming, and Canceling Replication Jobs
Each replication job is actually split into smaller jobs: Mirror Preprocessing (preparing to move
data), Mirror (moving the data), and Mirror Postprocessing (clean-up process). This saves resources
because each job type uses only the resources it needs instead of reserving resources for the entire
job. (Whole cartridge replication is not divided into smaller jobs.) The source VLS displays the
Mirror Preprocessing and Mirror jobs, while the target VLS displays the Mirror and Mirror
Postprocessing jobs.
From Command View VLS, select the Automigration/Replication tab, then select Job Reporting in
the navigation tree. This opens the Current Status screen where you can control the jobs.
On the source VLS, you can pause Mirror and Restore jobs and resume them at a later time, for
example when there are more resources available. At any point during the job, click the Pause
Job icon ( ) in the Action column. The job pauses, and the Pause Job icon is replaced by the Resume
Job icon ( ). When you are ready, click the Resume Job icon and the job will continue where it
left off.
You can cancel all job types at any point by clicking the Cancel Job icon ( ) in the Action column.
NOTE: When a replication library goes offline, all active mirror jobs pause. When the replication
library comes back online, all paused jobs resume.
LAN/WAN Replication Target Operations
The following sections describe the operations for LAN/WAN replication target.
Creating a LAN/WAN Replication Target
The first step in configuring replication is the creation of the LAN/WAN replication target. Do this
via Command View VLS on the destination VLS. Any virtual library (or slot range within a virtual
library) can be configured to act as a LAN/WAN replication target.
1.
In Command View VLS, select the Automigration/Replication tab.
2. Expand LAN/WAN Replication Targets in the navigation tree.
3. If the library on which you want to add a LAN/WAN replication target appears in the list,
select that library. The Summary for all LAN/WAN Replication Targets screen displays all
LAN/WAN replication targets created for that library.
If the library does not appear in the navigation tree, it means that the library does not yet
have any LAN/WAN replication targets on it. Select LAN/WAN Replication Targets in the
navigation tree instead. The Summary for All LAN/WAN Replication Targets screen displays
all LAN/WAN replication targets created for all libraries.
4. Select Create LAN/WAN Replication Target from the task bar to open the Create LAN/WAN
Replication Target screen.
5. Enter a name for the LAN/WAN replication target.
6. If you did not select your library from the navigation tree, select the library on which you want
to add the target from the Local Library menu.
The Available Slot Ranges section indicates the slots that are available on the library you just
selected.
