NOTE: The data verification feature requires a Data Verification license. You must install the

Command View TL license and Data Verification license for at least one tape library. See “Adding

a license key” (page 32) for details on installing a license.

Configuring the libraries to use data verification

For data verification to function, you must enable “CVTL user” on each library that will use it.

1. Launch the ESL G3 Library Management Console.

2. Go to Setup→Network Configuration→Network Security Settings. This opens the Security

Settings window.

3. Enable the CVTL user if it is not already enabled.

4. Click OK.

Creating the data verification partition

You must create a data verification partition on the library that will use data verification. Tapes

will reside in the data verification partition as they are being tested.

1. In the Launcher window, click the Data Verification tab.

2. In the navigation panel under Data Verification, select Control Panel.

3. Select the library on which to create the data verification partition.

4. Select Actions→Create DV Partition. This launches the Create Data Verification Partition wizard.

NOTE: The Create DV Partition menu option is only enabled if the selected library does not

already have a data verification partition. The Service status will be “Not Configured.” You

can also launch the wizard by clicking the linked Service status for that library.

The wizard will only launch if the library has the following prerequisites:

• One LTO5 or LTO6 drive

• Six available storage slots

• Six available I/E slots

5. Click Next.

6. Select the Drive Domain from the drop-down menu. Currently only LTO5 and LTO6 are

supported.
