Automigration

AutomigrationAutomigration

Automigration

The HP StorageWorks 6200 and 6600 Virtual Library Systems support Automigration. This service is a

form of "disk cache to tape", called "echo copy", which allows copies of data to be moved off the virtual

library to a physical library or another VLS under the control of the VLS, not the backup application.

Future updates will allow full integration with ISVs via SMI-S 1.3 specifications supporting what is known

as "smart copy". HP Data Protector 6.1 supports smart copy. Automigration is an HP developed

intellectual property and does not require licensing. SAN based Automigration is only supported on non-

deduplication/replication enabled VLS systems.

Copy

Echo copy can streamline the process and reduce the costs of making physical tape cartridges from

virtual tape cartridges, for vaulting and off-sitting purposes. Echo copy is run through the Automigration

software (a tab on the VLS GUI), not the backup application. It acts as a transparent disk cache to the

physical library, so that the backup application writes to virtual cartridges in the virtual library, and

Automigration then automatically schedules the copies from virtual cartridges to their matching physical

cartridges (with the same barcodes) based on the Automigration policies the user establishes.

Since Echo copy is managed through the Automigration software, not the backup application, the

destination library is not visible to the backup application - so no licensing is required. Copy traffic is no

longer routed through the SAN which speeds up the copy process. Since the tape library is dedicated to

the VLS no copy servers are required. Echo copy also eliminates the need for tape-to-tape copy

administration since this is automated through copy policy management. All destination tapes created by

echo copy are in the native tape format, so they can be easily restored directly from any tape drive or

library that is visible to the backup application.

Smart copy provides the same capabilities with one important exception. Smart Copy allows the backup

ISV to initiate the copy with the VLS6000 actually implementing the move. The cartridge bar codes

between the two copies are different and the backup ISV is able to track the move. SMI-S 1.3 support is

required by the ISV to be able to implement Smart Copy. HP Data Protector 6.1 supports smart copy.
