38 Planning to Install and Configure Pathlight VX

Gathering Configuration Information for Virtual and Physical Media

and gather corresponding virtual and physical media information for libraries. The information in these two

tables affects sizing, and should be defined in Pre-Sales design and discussed in the Pre-Installation call.

If one or more physical (tape) libraries will be connected to the Pathlight VX, then the barcode label (volser)

of each physical tape volume must match the barcode label (volser) of its corresponding virtual tape

(volume). If no physical library is attached to Pathlight VX, omit the physical volser range. In Table 27

, record

the settings for virtual media. In Table 28

on page 40, record the corresponding settings for physical media.

• For the Assigned Virtual Library type parameter, define the Virtual Library Names in the Virtual

Library worksheet before entering this data.

• For the Virtual Media Type parameter, specify the type of tape, LTO-1, LTO-2 or LTO-3.

• For the Virtual Volser Range parameter, define the barcode layout for the virtual media. For

example, if the library contains 50 tapes, then the barcode range would be 000000 to 000049. The

GUI will prompt you for only the Starting Barcode.

• For the Entry Method parameter, specify the method for the virtual media to be entered in the

virtual library. Set the virtual media’s entry method to be the same as you would use for physical

media in a tape library.

• If you normally enter tapes through the library’s I/E station, select I/E Station.

• If you have a number of media to enter and you would normally enter the media through the

library’s door, select Slot.

•For the Export Rule (Media Specific) parameter, specify the destination for virtual media physical

counterparts when exported from the Pathlight VX. Valid values are I/E station or Library slot

(offline media). The value needs to be specified for each row and entry method if different from the

default export rule.

• For the Creation Method parameter, specify either Create from Physical or Virtual Only,

where "Create from Physical" maps to the "Creating Virtual Media - Define Unknown Media Screen"

heading, and "Virtual Only" maps to the "Creating Virtual Media - Define Virtual Media Screen"

heading in the Pathlight VX Installation Guide. See "Creating Virtual Media" in the Pathlight VX

Installation Guide for more information on each option.

To assist in completing Table 27

and Table 28 on page 40, record the following values:

Note

The Physical Volser Range parameter in Table 28 on page 40 will be a

subset of the Virtual Volser Range value.

Note

If Slot is selected as the entry method, the Pathlight VX’s backup

application interprets this action as the physical library’s door being open,

and re-inventories the library for new media.

Note

Creating virtual from Physical can consume extended periods of time if

data needs to be written to the virtual tape (virtualized). Plan accordingly.
