2. Select the copy pool on the Summary for Copy Pools screen to open the Echo Copy Details screen. 3. From the task bar, select Delete. 4. Select OK from the dialog box. The Copy Pools screen is refreshed and the deleted pool is no longer listed. NOTE: Deleting a copy pool moves the associated virtual tapes into the firesafe. At the end of the retention period, the system deletes the source cartridges from the firesafe. If you need to retrieve the cartridges for any reason, you must do so before the retention period ends. SAN Destination Library Operations This section describe all of the SAN destination library operations available to the user. Monitoring Destination Library Status This section describes how to locate the Command View VLS automigration status messages of a destination library. This applies to both SAN automigration libraries and LAN/WAN replication libraries. VLS hardware, environmental, and virtual device (library, tape drive, cartridge) status is constantly monitored by the VLS software and displayed on the VLS web user interface, Command View VLS. A notification alert is generated by the VLS software when a hardware or environmental failure is detected or predicted. VLS notification alerts are displayed on the Notifications screen of Command View VLS, and can also be sent as mail to the addresses you specify and/or as SNMP traps to the management consoles you specify. Status is also provided, where appropriate, on some screens under the Automigration/Replication tab. To monitor the automigration status of a destination library: 1. Select the Automigration/Replication tab. 2. In the navigation tree, select the destination library to view. This opens the Destination Library Details screen. This screen displays the state of the destination library. For SAN automigration libraries the options are Good, Degraded, Critical, Failed, or Missing; for LAN/WAN replication libraries the options are Connected, Configuration Out of Sync, and Unreachable. The screen also provides the name and model of the library, number of simultaneous transfers, number of slots, management URL, and availability. 3. Expand the destination library in the navigation tree to access more specific information. Cartridge Status and Slot Details To view the status of the destination library's slots, expand the library in the navigation tree and select Slots. The Summary for Slots screen displays the drive name, barcode, cartridge status, local library, copy pool, and last mirrored date for each slot number in use. Select a barcode from the list to see more details on the job history and status for that barcode. Quickly locate slots of interest using the Advanced Search. See "Advanced Search for Slots" (page 54). You can also select Slots State Summary from the navigation tree to see which of all the possible statuses have slots in that status; if a status is not listed, there are no slots currently in that status. The number of slots in each status is displayed. Select a status to see a list of the specific slots in that status. SAN Destination Library Operations 51

SAN Destination Library Operations
This section describe all of the SAN destination library operations available to the user.
Monitoring Destination Library Status
This section describes how to locate the Command View VLS automigration status messages of a
destination library. This applies to both SAN automigration libraries and LAN/WAN replication
libraries.
VLS hardware, environmental, and virtual device (library, tape drive, cartridge) status is constantly
monitored by the VLS software and displayed on the VLS web user interface, Command View VLS.
A notification alert is generated by the VLS software when a hardware or environmental failure is
detected or predicted. VLS notification alerts are displayed on the Notifications screen of Command
View VLS, and can also be sent as mail to the addresses you specify and/or as SNMP traps to
the management consoles you specify. Status is also provided, where appropriate, on some screens
under the
Automigration/Replication
tab.
To monitor the automigration status of a destination library:
1.
Select the
Automigration/Replication
tab.
2.
In the navigation tree, select the destination library to view. This opens the
Destination Library
Details
screen.
This screen displays the state of the destination library. For SAN automigration libraries the
options are Good, Degraded, Critical, Failed, or Missing; for LAN/WAN replication libraries
the options are Connected, Configuration Out of Sync, and Unreachable. The screen also
provides the name and model of the library, number of simultaneous transfers, number of slots,
management URL, and availability.
3.
Expand the destination library in the navigation tree to access more specific information.
Cartridge Status and Slot Details
To view the status of the destination library's slots, expand the library in the navigation tree and
select
Slots
.
The
Summary for Slots
screen displays the drive name, barcode, cartridge status, local library,
copy pool, and last mirrored date for each slot number in use. Select a barcode from the list to
see more details on the job history and status for that barcode.
Quickly locate slots of interest using the
Advanced Search
. See
“Advanced Search for
Slots” (page 54)
.
You can also select
Slots State Summary
from the navigation tree to see which of all the possible
statuses have slots in that status; if a status is not listed, there are no slots currently in that status.
The number of slots in each status is displayed. Select a status to see a list of the specific slots in
that status.
