HP StorageWorks D2D100 - Backup System User Manual page 93

This is the emulation type used by the backup software. The HP D2D supports the
following emulation types: HP 1x8 G2 Autoloader (1x8), HP MSL Library (2x24),
HP MSL Library (4x24). and HP D2DBS Library (4x48).
The number of embedded drives is always 1, but the emulation type determines
how many cartridge slots are available. The default of 1x8 G2 Autoloader is
Emulation Type
correct for most applications. This is a single Ultrium tape drive autoloader, with a
maximum of 24 cartridge slots. It should be used for simple rotation schemes where
a single backup job is to run at a time. This emulation type is widely supported by
backup applications. Consult your backup application technical support information
for further details.
By selecting a drive emulation type, HP LTO–2, 3 or 4, you set only the default
capacity of the cartridges within the library device. (LTO-2 = 200 GB, LTO-3 = 400
GB, LTO-4 = 800 GB.) It does not affect the ability of the backup application to
Drive Emulation
write to the device and tape cartridge capacities can be increased at any time (but
not decreased), as long as the cartridge is blank, regardless of the drive generation
number, see
This is where you define the number of slots that you require for your tape rotation
strategy. The number of slots available depends upon the Emulation Type that you
have selected. Each slot will be assigned a cartridge whose capacity is appropriate
to the Drive Emulation type.

You can change the maximum size of the cartridge as long as it is blank. This
means that you can only change the value immediately after the device is created
and before it has been accessed by the backup application. See

Number of drives: The number of drives is always 1.
Data deduplication is enabled by default for the library device. If you disable this
Deduplication: checkbox, you switch off deduplication for all data that is written to the device.
Compression will also be disabled and replication, if licensed.
This identifies the network port on the HP D2D to which the device is connected.
The choices in the drop-down menu depend upon your network configuration. There
are up to two iSCSI ports (this depends upon your network mode, see
Port:
Parameters" on page 99).
