Source/Target Appliance Serial Number Source/Target Library Name Source/Target Library Status Blackout Window Active Replication Status The serial number of the Target Appliance to which cartridges will be replicated. The name of the library to which cartridges will be replicated on the Target Appliance . The status of the partner library (such as online). This relates to the local appliance in its role as a source or target appliance. No replication jobs will be started if the source or target appliance for a mapping are in blackout, and any running jobs for the mapping will be paused. This shows whether the mapping is synchronized. Slot mapping details The two tabs at the bottom of this page show more detailed mapping information for the selected library and slot mapping. Library Details tab This tab details mapping details between source and target libraries. If a source library has been selected, it will tell you whether Recovery is in process; if a target library has been selected, it will tell you whether the target library is visible to the host. All other information is identical for both source and target libraries. For example, use this tab to find out: • The number of mapped slots and replication status • The average throughput of data You can only edit the Mapping Name on this tab. Slot Details tab This tab displays details for each mapped slot in the selected slot mapping. It includes average throughput data for each slot. If you have selected a source library, you will be able to: • Edit the Target Slot to which a Source Slot is mapped. • Enable the Recover First checkbox, which enables a user to request that a mapped slot be recovered from Target to Source, if required.

The serial number of the Target Appliance to which cart-
ridges will be replicated.
Source/Target Appliance Serial Number
The name of the library to which cartridges will be replic-
ated on the Target Appliance .
Source/Target Library Name
The status of the partner library (such as online).
Source/Target Library Status
This relates to the local appliance in its role as a source
or target appliance. No replication jobs will be started if
the source or target appliance for a mapping are in
blackout, and any running jobs for the mapping will be
paused.
Blackout Window Active
This shows whether the mapping is synchronized.
Replication Status
Slot mapping details
The two tabs at the bottom of this page show more detailed mapping information for the selected
library and slot mapping.
Library Details tab
This tab details mapping details between source and target libraries. If a source library has been
selected, it will tell you whether Recovery is in process; if a target library has been selected, it will tell
you whether the target library is visible to the host. All other information is identical for both source
and target libraries. For example, use this tab to find out:
The number of mapped slots and replication status
The average throughput of data
You can only edit the Mapping Name on this tab.
Slot Details tab
This tab displays details for each mapped slot in the selected slot mapping. It includes average
throughput data for each slot. If you have selected a source library, you will be able to:
Edit the Target Slot to which a Source Slot is mapped.
Enable the
Recover First
checkbox, which enables a user to request that a mapped slot be recovered
from Target to Source, if required.
The replication wizards
When you select a Non-Replicating library, you will be able to run the Replication or Recovering
wizard.
Use the Replication wizard to create slot mappings for the non-replicating library; it becomes a
Source library. See
Running the replication wizard (virtual tape devices)
for more information.
Use the Recovery wizard to recover cartridges from a Target Library. See
Recovering a source
appliance, VTL devices
for more information.
Running the replication wizard (virtual tape devices)
The Replication Wizard is used to create new mappings between Non-Replicating Libraries (which
become Replication Source Libraries) and either existing or new Target Libraries.
1.
Create a Non-Replicating Library on the Source Appliance.
2.
Create a backup rotation scheme and allow the first full backup to run.
