NOTE: When the library policy includes a copy on eject and the media being ejected is either not synchronized or has a status of "Mirror Broken," a prompt appears. Choose to eject immediately without running a copy, or to put a copy job in the queue and wait to eject the media until the copy is complete. Scheduling the copy requires that you wait for the copy to complete before moving another tape into the slot. Although a status message may display indicating that the copy has begun, it may still be in the queue. Ejecting Media from a Drive into an Empty Mailslot To eject media from a drive into an empty mailslot within the same library: 1. Expand the navigation pane. On the appropriate library, expand Drives and then select the drive from which to eject the media. The TAPE DRIVE DETAILS screen is displayed in the main window. 2. From the task bar, select Eject Media. 3. From the list of empty mailslots that displays, select the destination slot for the ejected media. 4. Select Submit. 5. After the media is ejected, the TAPE DRIVE DETAILS screen displays along with the message, "The media was successfully ejected from the drive into slot [destination mailslot number]." Restarting Automigration/Replication Services If you replace a tape drive on your physical tape library, you must restart automigration/replication services afterwards. This resets the services to acknowledge the new tape drive. 1. In Command View VLS, select the System tab. 2. In the navigation pane, select Chassis. 3. Under Maintenance Tasks, select System Maintenance. 4. In the task bar, select Restart Automigration/Replication Services. The screen displays a warning. 5. Select Restart. (You can select Return to cancel the restart.) The screen displays a summary of the restarted services. 6. Select Return. Scanning a SAN Destination Library For an initial setup, or to force an immediate synchronization of data, scan the appropriate destination library. This immediately forces the scan of a specific physical library: NOTE: The status message is returned as soon as the scan is successfully scheduled; however, the scan may not yet be complete. There is no way to determine whether the scan has been performed. 1. From the navigation pane under Destination Libraries, select the library to scan. HP StorageWorks 101
