a. Right-click the view and select Edit.

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.
NetBackup labeling
NetBackup uses numbers to label tape pools. If you are using NetBackup as your application,
follow these steps to obtain the tape pool number.
1. Log into the NetBackup application Windows host.
2. Select Start > run, and type cmd in the dialog box.
3. Navigate to C:\Program Files\VERITAS\Volmgr\bin and enter the following command:
C:\Program Files\VERITAS\Volmgr\bin>vmpool -listall
===========================================================
pool number: 0
pool name: None
description: the None pool
pool host: ANYHOST
pool user: ANY
pool group: NONE
===========================================================
4. Note down the pool number. This is the number that you use as the tape pool number when
creating the tape pool on the encryption switch or blade.
NetWorker labeling
If you use NetWorker as your backup application, be aware of possible naming restrictions. For
example, NetWorker does not allow underscore characters in tape pool names. To ensure that you
can use the same tape pool name on your encryption platform and on your backup application,
create the tape pool on NetWorker first before creating the tape pool on your encryption switch.
