. Automigration describes the feature in which the Virtual Library System acts as a tape copy engine that transfers data from virtual cartridges on disk to a physical tape library connected to the VLS device. The VLS automigration feature supports two different schemes: • Echo copy automatically - HP 12000 | HP 12200 Gateway Virtual Library System User Guide (BW403-10001, June - Page 34
policy defines for each source virtual library the copy window (start virtual cartridges to destination cartridges, and the VLS then performs that copy inside the device. The backup application can only use this feature if it supports the HP smart copy mechanism (via SMI-S v1.3 or later copy services - HP 12000 | HP 12200 Gateway Virtual Library System User Guide (BW403-10001, June - Page 35
supported. You establish a replication policy and echo copy pools using Command View VLS in the same way you set up automigration with a destination library -enabled replication - the virtual cartridge on the source VLS is deduplicated against the virtual cartridge on the target VLS. In this manner, - HP 12000 | HP 12200 Gateway Virtual Library System User Guide (BW403-10001, June - Page 36

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.
