Mapping 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 Users with an Admin login may edit the Mapping Name on this tab. Slot details 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, users with an Admin login 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. Running the replication wizard (virtual tape devices) When you select a Non-Replicating library, you will be able to run the Replication or Recovery wizard. 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. 3. Decide how you will seed the first full backup on the Target Appliance. Are you seeding across the WAN or have you been able to colocate the Target Appliance on the same LAN as the Source Appliance? See the HP StoreOnce Backup system Best Practices Configuration Guide for a more detailed discussion about seeding. 4. Go to the Replication-VT Mappings page and select a Non-Replicating Library to be converted to a Replication Source Library. 5. Click Start Replication Wizard and proceed to the Select Target Appliance step. TIP: Click on the show/hide details link to check how many target appliances are permitted and the number of target appliances that are currently configured. VT Mappings (Replication) 57

Mapping 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

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, users with an Admin login will
be able to:
Edit the Target Slot to which a Source Slot is mapped.
Enable the

checkbox, which enables a user to request that a mapped slot be
recovered from Target to Source, if required.
Running the replication wizard (virtual tape devices)
When you select a Non-Replicating library, you will be able to run the Replication or Recovery
wizard.
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.
3.
Decide how you will seed the first full backup on the Target Appliance. Are you seeding across
the WAN or have you been able to colocate the Target Appliance on the same LAN as the
Source Appliance? See the
HP StoreOnce Backup system Best Practices Configuration Guide
for a more detailed discussion about seeding.
4.
Go to the
Replication-VT Mappings
page and select a Non-Replicating Library to be converted
to a Replication Source Library.
5.
Click
Start Replication Wizard
and proceed to the Select Target Appliance step.
TIP:
Click on the
show/hide details
link to check how many target appliances are permitted
and the number of target appliances that are currently configured.
