5. In order to restore from a destination cartridge, either load it into a physical drive that is visible to the backup application, or perform a Load for Restore. Load for Restore copies the destination tape back into the virtual cartridge so that the backup application can then restore from the virtual cartridge. Creating an Echo Copy Pool Echo copy pools are created from physical library slots after a destination tape library is added to the VLS automigration configuration. Each echo copy pool defines: • The single destination library • The single source virtual library • The slot range • The echo copy pool policy Each virtual library has a SAN policy, and those used as a replication library will also have a LAN/WAN policy. These policies are set up during the creation procedure. To create an echo copy pool: 1. On the Automigration/Replication tab, expand Destination Libraries on the navigation tree so that you can see all the related items. 2. Expand the destination library for which you want to create a pool. 3. Select Copy Pools on the navigation tree. 4. From the task bar, select Create Echo Copy Pool. The CREATE ECHO COPY POOL screen displays. 5. Enter a start slot number and an end slot number for the copy pool from within the available slot range shown. 6. Select the local library where your echoed virtual cartridges will be placed from the Local Library list. 7. Select the storage pool where your echoed virtual cartridges will be stored from the Storage Pool list. 8. For LAN/WAN echo copy pools, select whether your replication is for deduplicated or non-deduplicated backups. 9. For LAN/WAN echo copy pools, select "Initialize via Tape Transport" only if you intend to use this echo copy pool for the one-time process of tape initialization. (See "Tape Initialization" on page 50.) 10. Select Next Step to set the policies. HP StorageWorks 12000 Gateway Virtual Library System User Guide 55

In order to restore from a destination cartridge, either load it into a physical drive that is visible
to the backup application, or perform a Load for Restore. Load for Restore copies the destination
tape back into the virtual cartridge so that the backup application can then restore from the virtual
cartridge.
Creating an Echo Copy Pool
Echo copy pools are created from physical library slots after a destination tape library is added to
the VLS automigration configuration. Each echo copy pool defines:
The single destination library
The single source virtual library
The slot range
The echo copy pool policy
Each virtual library has a SAN policy, and those used as a replication library will also have a
LAN/WAN policy. These policies are set up during the creation procedure.
To create an echo copy pool:
1.
On the
Automigration/Replication
tab, expand
Destination Libraries
on the navigation tree so
that you can see all the related items.
2.
Expand the destination library for which you want to create a pool.
3.
Select
Copy Pools
on the navigation tree.
4.
From the task bar, select
Create Echo Copy Pool
.
The
CREATE ECHO COPY POOL
screen displays.
5.
Enter a start slot number and an end slot number for the copy pool from within the available slot
range shown.
6.
Select the local library where your echoed virtual cartridges will be placed from the Local Library
list.
7.
Select the storage pool where your echoed virtual cartridges will be stored from the Storage Pool
list.
8.
For LAN/WAN echo copy pools, select whether your replication is for deduplicated or
non-deduplicated backups.
9.
For LAN/WAN echo copy pools, select
Initialize via Tape Transport
only if you intend to use
this echo copy pool for the one-time process of tape initialization. (See
Tape
Initialization
on page 50.)
10.
Select
Next Step
to set the policies.
