Automigration will then automatically scan the header from the loaded tape when a drive becomes
available. The amount of time this takes varies depending on how busy the destination library
is. After scanning the tape header, it will automatically create a matching virtual cartridge (if one
does not already exist) in the source virtual library defined for this echo copy pool that is blank
except for the header written at the beginning of the tape.
NOTE:
Because no data has been stored, you cannot restore from this virtual tape.

Restarting a Broken Mirror

The "mirror broken" state can occur when there is not enough room on the virtual tape to create the
copy, there are no available slots to create the copy, the library cannot read the header of the physical
tape, the library cannot determine that a tape without a header is blank, or the library cannot
successfully write the header to the virtual tape.
When a physical cartridge in a destination library is in this state, you must restart the broken mirror
for the automigration to continue. The Restart Broken Mirror task triggers a job to run which clears
out the problem.
1. From the task bar, select Restart Broken Mirror. The Restart Broken Mirror screen opens and
displays all cartridges with the Mirror Broken status.
2. Select the cartridges you want to restart.
3. Select Submit. The Result screen indicates that the operation was successful. The cartridge is now
in the UpToDate status.

Viewing Cartridges in Automigration Source Libraries

When a tape is still present in the destination library, you can view the matching automigration virtual
cartridge in the associated source virtual library. To view cartridges in the source libraries:
1. On the Automigration/Replication tab, select Source Cartridges from the navigation tree.
2. The right hand pane then shows all the automigration virtual cartridges (alphabetically by bar
code) in the source libraries and information including the cartridge state, last written date,
destination library, and destination slot.

Viewing Automigration Cartridges in the Firesafe

When a cartridge is ejected from the destination library, its matching virtual cartridge is automatically
ejected out of the virtual library and moved into the device's firesafe. The firesafe acts as a virtual
offline location for the automigration virtual cartridges. Once they are in the firesafe, the automigration
