Creating An Echo Copy Pool - HP StorageWorks 12000 User Manual

5. In order to restore from a destination cartridge, either load it into a physical drive that is visible
to the backup application, or perform a Load for Restore. Load for Restore copies the destination
tape back into the virtual cartridge so that the backup application can then restore from the virtual
cartridge.

Creating an Echo Copy Pool

Echo copy pools are created from physical library slots after a destination tape library is added to
the VLS automigration configuration. Each echo copy pool defines:
• The single destination library
• The single source virtual library
• The slot range
• The echo copy pool policy
Each virtual library has a SAN policy, and those used as a replication library will also have a
LAN/WAN policy. These policies are set up during the creation procedure.
To create an echo copy pool:
1. On the Automigration/Replication tab, expand Destination Libraries on the navigation tree so
that you can see all the related items.
2. Expand the destination library for which you want to create a pool.
3. Select Copy Pools on the navigation tree.
4. From the task bar, select Create Echo Copy Pool.
The CREATE ECHO COPY POOL screen displays.
5. Enter a start slot number and an end slot number for the copy pool from within the available slot
range shown.
6. Select the local library where your echoed virtual cartridges will be placed from the Local Library
list.
7. Select the storage pool where your echoed virtual cartridges will be stored from the Storage Pool
list.
8. For LAN/WAN echo copy pools, select whether your replication is for deduplicated or
non-deduplicated backups.
9. For LAN/WAN echo copy pools, select "Initialize via Tape Transport" only if you intend to use
this echo copy pool for the one-time process of tape initialization. (See
Initialization" on page 50.)
10. Select Next Step to set the policies.
