Vt Mappings (Replication); Source And Target Library Mappings - HPE StoreOnce 6500 User Manual

The top of the tab displays a Filter field and two drop-down menus. Use the right-hand drop-down menu
to filter for Severity, for example, to display all Error messages. Use the middle drop-down menu to select
a column (or All) and then type a search string into the Filter box.

VT Mappings (Replication)

This page displays details of all replication mappings between source and target libraries. Administrator
users may use the two wizards on this page to configure replication mappings and recover mappings
after a disaster. (NAS share mappings are managed on a separate page.) If a non-replicating library is
selected, no mappings are configured and the screen displays the Replication and Recovery Wizards.
Use this page to:
• View source and target library mappings (all users), see Source and target library mappings on
page 64.
Administrator users may also remove slot mappings and edit slot mappings.
• Run the Replication Wizard to create new mappings (administrator users only), see Running the
replication wizard (virtual tape devices) on page 66.
• Run the Recovery Wizard to restore mappings (administrator users only), see Recovering a Source
Appliance (Virtual Tape devices) on page 68.
NOTE: Only administrators can manage mappings. You can only map and replicate libraries of the same
version.

Source and target library mappings

The top part of the VT Mappings page contains a list of all available local libraries. Local libraries are the
libraries configured on this StoreOnce System.
• Non Replicating: a library on this StoreOnce System with slots not yet mapped for replication.
Replication and Recovery Wizards are available only with non-replicating libraries.
• Replication Source: a library on this StoreOnce System with cartridges mapped for replication. You
do not have to map all cartridges in a Replication-Source Library, and the Replication-Target Library
need not contain the same number of cartridges as the Replication-Source Library.
• Replication Target: a library on this StoreOnce System with slots that hold cartridges replicated from
a Replication-Source library. The option is available to recover individual cartridges from Replication-
Target libraries.
NOTE: When selecting a non-replicating library, you can run the Replication or Recovering wizard.
• Use the Replication wizard to create slot mappings for the non-replicating library to make the library a
Source library. See Running the replication wizard (virtual tape devices) on page 66
for more information.
• Use the Recovery wizard to recover cartridges from a Target Library. See Recovering a Source
Appliance (Virtual Tape devices) on page 68 for more information.
