Virtual TapeServer 8.0 Supplemental Installation Guide

Enabling and Configuring AutoCopy and Instant DR | 29

Here is an example configuration:

autocopy_enable='YES'

rep_enable='YES'

autocopy_pools='VTS001 VTS003 VTS004'

autocopy_target_ANYPOOL='VTS-DR'

rep_delay='60'

rep_bwlimit='100'

Or:

autocopy_enable='YES'

rep_enable='YES'

autocopy_pools='DR1 DR2'

autocopy_target_DR1='SVR08'

autocopy_target_DR2='SVR08:/VAULT00/DR2_AU'

5. Click SAVE.

6. Restart the TapeServer process on the Manage System Tasks page.

Configuring Instant DR

You can manually replicate data using an Instant DR jobset, or you can automatically

replicate data through the use of EMS.

Manually replicating a virtual tape using Instant DR

To manually replicate data using Instant DR, you must define a jobset. Each jobset can back

up one or more virtual tapes. Within each jobset, the synchronization tasks are serialized.

This means that two tasks cannot run at the same time. However, you can dispatch separate

rep_delay Specifies the time to wait (in seconds)

before starting to copy data, for virtual

tapes in VTLs. This is an optional

parameter that provides a delay to the

host so that it can issue a mount for

verification. When a mount request is

received, any running AutoCopy operation

for the virtual tape is terminated and the

partially copied data is removed from the

remote system.

0 - 86400

rep_bwlimit Specifies the maximum bandwidth (in

thousands of bytes per second) to be used

for each AutoCopy operation, for virtual

tapes in VTLs. If set to greater than 0, the

approximate bandwidth used for the copy

will be limited to the value specified.
