Running The Replication Wizard (Virtual Tape Devices) - HPE StoreOnce 6500 User Manual

Slot mapping details
The tabs at the bottom of this page show more detailed mapping information for the selected library and
slot mapping.
Mapping details tab
This tab details mapping details between source and target libraries. If a source library is selected, it will
indicate if Recovery is in process. If a target library is selected, it will indicate if 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 determine:
• The number of mapped slots and replication status.
• The average throughput of data.
NOTE: Multiple VTL library source appliances can replicate into a single VTL library target appliance
offering consolidation benefits. This process is known as Fan-in.
Users with an administrator 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. When selecting a source library, users with an administrator login can:
• 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 (this is sometimes known as reverse replication).

Running the replication wizard (virtual tape devices)

When selecting a non-replicating library, you can 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.
IMPORTANT: The Replication Wizard does not allow creation of an encrypted target library. To
replicate from an encrypted Source library, first create the Target library and enable encryption so
the Target library is also encrypted.
66 Running the replication wizard (virtual tape devices)
The name of the library to which cartridges will be
replicated on the Target Appliance.
The status of the partner library (such as online).
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 is in blackout,
and any running jobs for the mapping will be paused.
Time in hours that replication has been out of sync.
Shows whether the mapping is synchronized or not.
