Tape Drive Details

Select a drive from this list or from the navigation pane to see more details and to access further tasks.
This screen is only available for SAN automigration libraries.

Forcing a Replication Job

The Copy Now task allows you to schedule a replication (or automigration) job that forces the cartridge
to replicate immediately regardless of whether or not the cartridge is within the policy window. You
can only perform this task when the cartridge is holding in the Out of Synch state.
In Command View VLS:
1.
On the Automigration/Replication tab, expand the destination library in the navigation pane
and select Slots to open the Summary for Slots screen.
2.
Select Copy Now from the task bar.
3.
On the Copy Now screen, select the slots you want to replicate.
4.
Select Submit.
The system immediately registers the selected cartridges into the queue to replicate when resources
are available regardless of the policy windows.

Placing a Library Offline or Online

Place the library offline in order to deploy firmware, create a support ticket, or run a library assessment
test. You can place a LAN/WAN destination library offline as well. To do so:
1.
From the navigation pane under Destination Libraries, select the library to place offline.
2.
From the task bar, select Offline.
A dialog box opens to confirm the selection and warn that placing the library offline will cancel
all active jobs.
3.
Select OK from the dialog box.
The Destination Library Details screen refreshes and displays the message, "The destination library
was successfully placed offline." In addition, the Offline option in the task bar is replaced with
Online.
NOTE:
When placing the library offline from the Automigration/Replication tab, the library is not truly
offline. Instead, it is offline for automigration or replication jobs only.
Place the library online to resume scheduled automigration or replication:
1.
From the navigation pane under Destination Libraries, select the library to place online.
