Loading Media into a Smart Copy Pool for Overwrite

To load a scratch or expired tape (a tape that was previously backed up to and is being reused)
from a mailslot on a destination library into a smart copy pool, use Load media for overwrite:
1. From the navigation tree under the appropriate destination library, select MailSlot to display
the list of mailslots on that library.
2. From the task bar, select Load Media for Overwrite.
3. From the LOAD MEDIA FOR OVERWRITE screen, select the source slot.
4. Select Next.
5. Select the destination slot.
6. Select Next to display the specifics of the media to be loaded for overwrite.
7. Select Submit.
The mailslot screen refreshes, along with the message, "The media, [media name], was
successfully loaded." Also, the media that has been loaded is no longer in the mailslot.

Editing Copy Pools

The following sections describe the copy pool edit operations available to the user.

Moving a Copy Pool

When there is not enough space left on a virtual library, a copy pool can be moved to a different
virtual library. To move a copy pool from one virtual library to another:
1. Select the Automigration/Replication tab and expand the task bar of the navigation tree.
2. Under Destination Libraries, select Copy Pools.
3. From the Name column in the copy pools lists, select the copy pool to be moved.
4. From the Copy Pool Details window task bar, select Change Local Library.
5. From the CHANGE LOCAL LIBRARY window, verify the current local library on which the pool
resides.
6. Select the new local library, then select Submit.
The Echo Copy Pool Details window displays, along with the message, "The local library was
successfully changed."
NOTE: When an echo copy pool moves to a different local library, the associated automigration
tapes automatically move with it.

Changing the Slot Mapping for a SAN Library

Slot mapping refers to the assignment of physical slots in a library to correspond to a specific
virtual copy pool. Mapping occurs as a copy pool is created; however, mapping can be changed
at any time. Reasons to change the slot mapping include the need for a group of slots to expand
to match the corresponding virtual copy pool, the need to shrink an existing pool to make more
room for a growing pool, and the need to rearrange the mapping so that the pools correspond to
a consecutive set of slots.
To remove the slot mapping of any copy pool:
1. Select Slots in the appropriate library from the navigation tree.
2. In the Copy Pool column, select any instance of the appropriate pool.
The SMART COPY POOL DETAILS or ECHO COPY POOL DETAILS screen displays.
3. Select Delete in the taskbar.
