HP StorageWorks 9000 - Virtual Library System - Creating a Smart Copy Pool; Creating a New Smart Copy Pool (with Sample Slot Range Error Message)

Creating a Smart Copy Pool
Smart copy pools are created from physical library slots after a destination tape library is added to
the VLS automigration configuration. Each smart copy pool defines:
• The single destination library
• The single source virtual library
• The slot range
• The pool mode – echo copy or smart copy
• The number of drives allocated to the pool (for smart copy only)
To create a smart copy pool:
1. Select the Automigration/Replication tab and expand the task bar of the navigation pane so that
you can see all the items listed under Destination Libraries.
2. Select Copy Pools on a destination library for which you want to create a pool.
3. From the task bar, select Create Smart Copy Pool.
The CREATE NEW SMART COPY POOL screen displays (see Figure 31).

just above the empty field.
