Tape pool configuration
3
• The tape pool label created on the encryption switch or blade must be the be same Tape pool
label that is configured on the tape backup application. It is recommended that you check for
any labeling restrictions specific to your backup application before creating a tape pool on the
encryption switch.
NOTE
Check your backup application before choosing a label. Some applications, such as NetWorker
do not support underscore characters in tape pool labels. You may create the tape pool on the
application first to determine possible naming restrictions, then use the label generated by the
backup application to create the tape pool on the encryption switch or blade.
• A tape pool must first be created on the encryption switch or blade before you can label the
tape media and assign them to the tape pool. Failure to observe this sequence invalidates
tape pool-level settings and policies, and default LUN-level settings are applied to the tape
media.
CommVault Galaxy labeling
CommVault uses a “storage policy” for each backup. When configuring a tape pool to work with
CommVault Galaxy, you first create a storage policy on CommVault and then use the
storage_policy_id (sp_id) as the label when creating the tape pool on the encryption switch or
blade.
1. Create a storage policy for the backup using the CommVault application. Refer to the product
documentation for instructions.
2. Open CommCellExplorer Views by selecting Start > Programs >Microsoft SQL Server 2005
>SQL ServerManagement Studio.
3. Expand the tree in the left pane and navigate to the following location:
Comm_serve_computer_name\database_instance_name >Databases > CommServ >Views.
4. Edit the dbo.CommCellStoragePolicyquery as follows:
a. Right-click the view and select Edit.
b. Add the following (sp_id= ARG.id) as follows:
• SELECT Distinct
• storagepolicy= ARG.name,
• sp_id= ARG.id,
5. Save the query by selecting File > Save SQLQuery1.sql
6. Execute the query by right-clicking the query window and selecting Execute.
7. Open the dbo.CommCellStoragePolicy view.
8. Right-click the view dbo.CommCellStoragePolicy and select Open View.
9. Note down the sp_id for the storage policy you created. This is the sp_id that you use as the
tape pool label when creating the tape pool on the encryption switch or blade.
