Tape pool configuration

• The tape pool label created on the encryption switch or blade must be the be same tape pool

label configured on the tape backup application.

• Refer to the tape backup product documentation for detailed instructions for creating tape

pool labels and numbers.

NOTE

It may be helpful to create the tape pool on the application first to determine possible naming

restrictions, then use the label generated by the backup application to create the tape pool on

the encryption switch or blade.

• A tape pool must first be created on the encryption switch or blade before you can label the

tape media and assign them to the tape pool. Failure to observe this sequence invalidates

tape pool-level settings and policies, and default LUN-level settings are applied to the tape

media.

CommVault Galaxy labeling

CommVault uses a storage policy for each backup. When configuring a tape pool to work with

CommVault Galaxy, first create a storage policy on CommVault and then use the storage_policy_id

(sp_id) as the label when creating the tape pool on the encryption switch or blade.

1. Open CommCellExplorer Views by selecting Start > Programs >Microsoft SQL Server 2005

>SQL ServerManagement Studio.

2. Expand the tree in the left pane and navigate to the following location:

Comm_serve_computer_name\database_instance_name >Databases > CommServ >Views.

3. Edit the dbo.CommCellStoragePolicyquery as follows:

a. Right-click the view and select Edit.

b. Add the following (sp_id= ARG.id) as follows:

• SELECT Distinct

• storagepolicy= ARG.name,

• sp_id= ARG.id,

4. Save the query by selecting File > Save SQLQuery1.sql

5. Execute the query by right-clicking the query window and selecting Execute.

6. Open the dbo.CommCellStoragePolicy view.

7. Right-click the view dbo.CommCellStoragePolicy and select Open View.

8. Use the sp_id for the storage policy as the tape pool label on the encryption switch or blade.

NetBackup labeling

NetBackup uses numbers to label tape pools. If you are using NetBackup as your application,

follow these steps to obtain the tape pool number.

1. Log into the NetBackup application Windows host.

2. Select Start > run, and type cmd in the dialog box.

3. Navigate to C:\Program Files\VERITAS\Volmgr\bin and enter the following command:

C:\Program Files\VERITAS\Volmgr\bin>vmpool -listall

1 2 ... 208 209 210 211 212 213 214 215 216 217 218 ... 325 326
