8. Select Submit. The mailslot screen refreshes, along with the message, "The media, [media name], was successfully loaded." Also, the media that has been loaded is no longer in the mailslot. Automigration will then automatically create a matching blank virtual cartridge in the source virtual library defined for this echo copy pool. Loading Media into an Echo Copy Pool for Overwrite To load an expired tape (a tape that was previously backed-up to and is being reused) from a mailslot on a destination library into an echo copy pool, use Load Media for Overwrite: 1. From Command View VLS, select the Automigration/Replication tab. 2. From the navigation pane under the appropriate destination library, select MailSlot to display the list of mailslots on that library. 3. From the task bar, select Load Media for Overwrite. 4. From the LOAD MEDIA FOR OVERWRITE screen, select the source slot. 5. Select Next. 6. Select the destination slot. 7. Select Next to display the specifics of the media to be loaded for overwrite. 8. Select Submit. The mailslot screen refreshes, along with the message, "The media, [media name], was successfully loaded." Also, the media that has been loaded is no longer in the mailslot. Automigration will then automatically scan the header from the loaded tape when a drive becomes available. (The amount of time this takes varies depending on how busy the destination library is.) After scanning the tape header, it will automatically create a matching virtual cartridge in the source virtual library defined for this echo copy pool that is blank except for the header written at the beginning of the tape. NOTE: Because no data has been stored, you cannot restore from this virtual tape. Restarting a Broken Mirror The "mirror broken" state can occur when there is not enough room on the virtual tape to create the copy, there are no available slots to create the copy, the library cannot read the header of the physical tape, the library cannot determine that a tape without a header is blank, or the library cannot successfully write the header to the virtual tape. When a physical cartridge in a destination library is in this state, you must restart the broken mirror for the automigration to continue. The Restart Broken Mirror task triggers a job to run which clears out the problem. 1. From the task bar, select Restart Broken Mirror. The Restart Broken Mirror screen opens and displays all cartridges with the Mirror Broken status. 2. Select the cartridges you want to restart. HP StorageWorks 87
