NOTE:
If the node system board was ever changed and the virtual library configuration and network settings
were not saved to a configuration file, the persistent VLS serial number and FC port WWPNs are lost
and cannot be recovered. The VLS software will automatically generate a new VLS serial number and
new FC port WWPNs based on the node system board’s MAC address.
If this occurs, any capacity licenses installed on the VLS will no longer work, as they only work with the
VLS serial number for which they were issued. You can obtain new capacity licenses from HP technical
support using the new VLS serial number. You will also nee d to reconfigure your SAN to reflect the
new FC port WWPNs.
Recreating the VLS300 storage pools
To recreate the storage po ols:
1. O n e storage pool is automatically created. Recreate any other storage pools, as needed. See
Configuring storage pools.
2. Reassign the external LUNs to the same pools to which they were originally assigned. (This is
also described in Configuring storage pools.)
CAUTION:
Do not use the Format checkbox option. This will destroy all existing cartridges in that pool.
Re-installing the VLS capacity licenses
If one or more capacity bundles (or existing disk arrays) were added to the VLS, re-install the VLS
capacity l
icense(s) using Command View TL.
NOTE:
See the
HP OpenView Command View for TL User Guide
for instructions on performing the following
steps.
To re-install the capacity license(s):
1. Start Command View TL.
2. Delete the VLS capacity licenses in Command View TL.
3. Ignore the message say ing to reboot the device.
4. Re-install the VLS license key(s) using Command View TL.
Your VLS license key(s) was E-mailed to you when you requested it. If you no longer have this mail,
contact HP technical support to obtain a new license key(s).
Recovering from operating system failure
Re-install the operating system if it becomes corrupted or is lost as a result of n ode RAID volume failure.
CAUTION:
Only install the VLS operating system on the node hard drives. Installing any other operating system on
the node hard drives voids the warra nty.
