9. Hover over each Select Slot link until you have selected a destination slot for each mailslot. 10. Click Next Step. A confirmation screen displays. 11. Click Load. The Media Move History screen displays the current status of the move. The possible status messages are Moving, Waiting, Successful, and Failed. If the status of the move is still Waiting, you can click Cancel to stop the move. 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 (if one does not already exist) 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. 3. Select Submit. The Result screen indicates that the operation was successful. The cartridge is now in the UpToDate status. Viewing Cartridges in Automigration Source Libraries When a tape is still present in the destination library, you can view the matching automigration virtual cartridge in the associated source virtual library. To view cartridges in the source libraries: 1. On the Automigration/Replication tab, select Source Cartridges from the navigation tree. 2. The right hand pane then shows all the automigration virtual cartridges (alphabetically by bar code) in the source libraries and information including the cartridge state, last written date, destination library, and destination slot. Viewing Automigration Cartridges in the Firesafe When a cartridge is ejected from the destination library, its matching virtual cartridge is automatically ejected out of the virtual library and moved into the device's firesafe. The firesafe acts as a virtual offline location for the automigration virtual cartridges. Once they are in the firesafe, the automigration HP StorageWorks 12000 Gateway Virtual Library System User Guide 61
