HPE StoreOnce 6500 User Manual page 67

Procedure
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 to seed the first full backup on the Target Appliance. Are you seeding across the WAN or
can you colocate the Target Appliance on the same LAN as the Source Appliance?
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. At the Welcome screen, click Next.
TIP: Click show/hide details box to check how many target appliances are permitted and the
number of target appliances currently configured.
6. Select a Target Appliance from the list and click Next.
NOTE: To select an appliance not yet on the list, click Add Target Appliance. Enter the Target
Appliance IP Address or fully qualified domain name. The default values for the Command and Data
Protocol Port Numbers cannot be edited. (If replication takes place through a firewall, the network
administrator must open (TCP) ports 9387 (Command protocol) and 9388 (Data protocol) to allow
the replication traffic to pass to and from the StoreOnce Systems.) Click Add Target Appliance.
7. The wizard then moves to the Select Target Library step. Select a library on the target appliance
and click Next.
NOTE: To create a new library on the target appliance, click Create New Target Library. Configure
details as done with creating a new library device.
When creating libraries on a target device it is possible to create libraries with 0 (zero) drives.
Attempting to create a library with more drives than those available on the target will fail with a
suggestion that there may be too many drives already in use on the target.
You cannot create a new target library if Source Appliance Permissions is enabled on the selected
target appliance. Instead, the library must first be created on the target before mapping from the
source.
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 that the Target
library is also encrypted.
8. At the Edit Slot Mapping step, enter a Slot Mapping Name. The slot number and barcodes of all
source cartridges are displayed. A new barcode is generated on the target library (these barcodes
will be overwritten with those of the source when replication starts). By default, all slots on the
Source are selected for mapping and mapped to available slots on the Target library. To deselect
cartridges from this slot mapping configuration, select Unmapped from the Target Slot Name drop-
down menu.
9. Click Next to display a summary of the replication configuration that you have created.
10. Click Apply to create the slot mapping configuration. Click OK at the Wizard Complete prompt.
11. Replication of cartridges will start as soon as the libraries have been synchronised. Look at the
Replication Status field on the Library Details section of the VT Mappings page. It changes from
"Pending Synchronisation" to "Synchronising" to "Synchronized".
