Configuring the RAID Level All VLS6000-series systems default to a RAID 5 storage array configuration; however, VLS6000-series with firmware version 2.0 or later can be configured - HP StorageWorks 6000 | HP StorageWorks 6000-series Virtual Library System User G - Page 64
the Storage Pool. Once selected, configuring the VLS6000-series disk array in either a RAID5 or RAID6 configuration is fully automated and self-managed by the VLS - no administrator action is required. The VLS software automatically builds the disk array RAID volumes and repairs any RAID volume - HP StorageWorks 6000 | HP StorageWorks 6000-series Virtual Library System User G - Page 65
on the node. See "Powering on the VLS6000-series System" on page 125. Virtual media will be automatically redistributed across the new storage when the tape is overwritten.

. This destroys all current virtual tapes in the system while it reformats all the arrays to reflect the new working capacity. Managing Storage Pools The VLS6000-series virtual tape library automatically creates one pool across all arrays on the library. On the system page, select Storage Pools - HP StorageWorks 6000 | HP StorageWorks 6000-series Virtual Library System User G - Page 67
To delete all information on the arrays and reformat them, perform a Rebuild Storage Pool from Command View VLS. CAUTION: Rebuild Storage Pool destroys all current virtual tape cartridges in the system. To rebuild the storage pool: 1. Open a Command View VLS session and log in as the administrator - HP StorageWorks 6000 | HP StorageWorks 6000-series Virtual Library System User G - Page 68

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 the main window that can be used as a shortcut to other windows or menus.

writes to virtual cartridges in the virtual library. Automigration then automatically schedules the copies from virtual cartridges to physical cartridges with matching barcodes, based on the automigration policies the user establishes. Echo copy is managed through the automigration software, not the - HP StorageWorks 6000 | HP StorageWorks 6000-series Virtual Library System User G - Page 73
echo copy. During replication, the source VLS copies data to the echo copy pools on a replication library that is on the source. During the user-defined availability window, this replication library migrates data to the destination library, known as the LAN/WAN replication target.

Troubleshooting This appendix describes some common issues you may encounter while configuring or using the VLS including automigration/replication and deduplication issues. VLS Common Issues Symptom Possible causes Solution Some of the virtual devices are not detected by the operating system - HP StorageWorks 6000 | HP StorageWorks 6000-series Virtual Library System User G - Page 312
and no gaps in the LUN numbering. See LUN Masking (v3.x) and LUN Mapping (v3.x) for instructions. There is a gap in the LUN numbering on the FC host port. Most operating systems will stop looking for virtual devices on an FC host port once a gap in the LUN numbering is detected. For example - HP StorageWorks 6000 | HP StorageWorks 6000-series Virtual Library System User G - Page 313
