5. Transfer the physical tapes to the remote site
6. Import data from the tapes onto the remote LAN/WAN replication target
Once the tape initialization process is complete, the automatic migration of deduplicated data from
the source site to the target site over the LAN/WAN begins. See “
Exporting Data to Physical tapes
for Tape Initialization ” on page 105 and “ Importing Data from Physical Tapes for Tape
Initialization ” on page 106 for the specific procedures.
Connecting a Destination Library
Automigration requires one or more dedicated destination libraries to be connected to the VLS device.
Supported Destination Library Configurations
Automigration is supported on:
• HP MSL series tape libraries
• HP EML series tape libraries or library partitions
• HP ESL E-series tape libraries or library partitions
• HP VLS virtual libraries
Using automigration, you can share a single destination library across multiple virtual libraries
(maximum of 20 drives on the physical libraries), or configure multiple destination libraries to be used
in a single virtual library.
CAUTION:
Automigration only supports destination libraries that have homogeneous drive types; for example,
all drives are LTO-2. A mixture of drive types in the destination library, such as LTO-3 and LTO-2, is
not supported.
NOTE:
Automigration allows you to use a VLS as a destination library. Because of this feature, it can also
be used as a device-to-device local replication scheme.
Connecting a Destination Library to the VLS6000–series
To connect the destination library to a VLS6000 device:
1. Choose the number of fibre channel ports on the VLS6000 to be used to connect to the destination
library.
