Automigration/Replication Issues; Destination Library Status Icon; Replacing A Library - HP StorageWorks 9000 - Virtual Library System User Manual

Automigration/Replication Issues

Although Automigration is configured and managed through the Automigration/Replication tab on
Command View VLS, errors and events are reported through the usual notification alerts. See
Notification Alerts.
IMPORTANT:
If a destination library is directly connected to the VLS (LOOP mode), and you disconnect the destination
library to change its connection to be via a SAN (FABRIC mode), you will need to reboot the VLS in
order for this change to work. If you do not reboot, the destination library will be marked as FAILED
after you disconnect and reconnect it.
NOTE:
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.

Destination library status icon

While the device status icon in the Command View VLS status banner indicates the overall VLS device
health on other tabs, the icon on the Automigration/Replication tab indicates the status of the destination
libraries.
A destination library status icon can be one of five states:
Error—An error occurred while the system was determining the status of the destination libraries.
Unknown—A destination library's operating condition is unknown. Contact HP Technical Support.
Normal—All destination libraries are operating normally.
Warning—At least one destination library is in a good state while at least one destination library
is any state other than good.
Warning for All—All destination libraries are in any state other than good.

Replacing a library

When a library fails, or when the library robotics card must be changed, the replacement will have
a different serial number from the original. To assign it the same pools, mapping, etc. as the original:
NOTE:
While the virtual tapes are in the firesafe, scheduled backups for those tapes will not occur.
1. Make a note of all pool configuration information for pools associated with the library to be
replaced.
