Creating Archive Tapes From The Target - HP StorageWorks 12000 - Virtual Library System EVA Gateway Manual

Figure 40 Creating Archive Tapes from the Target
.
In order to have the target backup application copy from the replicated cartridges to a physical tape
library, it must be "taught" what is on the replicated cartridges. This can be done automatically as
shown in Figure 40 by setting the target virtual libary to "read-only" mode (to allow the Backup
Application B to access it) and then polling the new XML report (https://<D2Daddress>/
ReplicationStatus.xml) on the D2D with a script to generate a listing of which virtual cartridges
have been successfully replicated since the last poll. This cartridge list can then be fed into a script
that automatically triggers tape import jobs in the backup application (which read the new cartridge
data and import this content into the media database). The target backup application can then restore
from the imported virtual cartridges or copy them to physical tape, etc. For backup application import
script examples see Detailed Backup Application Guidelines for VLS.
