you must also purchase a 20- or 32-port connectivity kit and additional nodes. NOTE: The VLS sequentially numbers arrays as they are added, starting with Array 0. Only add one VLS array at a time so you can control the number assigned to each array. To add a VLS9000 capacity kit: HP StorageWorks 75 - HP StorageWorks 9000 | HP StorageWorks 9000-series Virtual Library System User G - Page 76
one array must be installed for every node installed in a VLS9000-series system (except in the 7.5 TB and 10 TB systems which can have a single disk array enclosure). Removing arrays from the system destroys all current virtual tapes in the system. Once arrays are added to the VLS, the only way they - HP StorageWorks 9000 | HP StorageWorks 9000-series Virtual Library System User G - Page 77
example, if the storage pool policy is 2 and there are three arrays in the system, the VLS divides the three arrays into two storage pools.

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.

so that the backup application 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 - HP StorageWorks 9000 | HP StorageWorks 9000-series Virtual Library System User G - Page 83
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 9000 | HP StorageWorks 9000-series Virtual Library System User G - Page 286
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 9000 | HP StorageWorks 9000-series Virtual Library System User G - Page 287
nodes before installing the VLS system virtual library. See the Veritas Netbackup manual. Netbackup does not display the cartridge barcodes for Autoloader library emulations on the VLS. Real autoloader libraries do not support barcodes. This is normal and will not cause problems.

VLS performance is being reduced by frequent tape drive polling. Windows Removable Storage Manager service (RSM) polls tape drives on a frequent basis-every three seconds in Microsoft Windows 2000 performance. For SAN configurations, HP strongly recommends disabling RSM polling. HP StorageWorks 289 - HP StorageWorks 9000 | HP StorageWorks 9000-series Virtual Library System User G - Page 290
Troubleshooting Solution Refer to the Microsoft website at: http://support.microsoft.com/ default.aspx?scid= kb;en-us;842411 or complete the following steps to disable RSM polling: 1.

Deduplication Issues Symptom The VLS - HP StorageWorks 9000 | HP StorageWorks 9000-series Virtual Library System User G - Page 294
continue to degrade as you restore older and older versions of a backup. After 50 versions of a backup set have been deduplicated, the VLS automatically restarts the deduplication process as though from scratch.
