Table 9 Emulation types for tape devices (continued) Emulation type Description ESL-E series Library: This is an enterprise tape solution which allows you to configure up to 192 drives per node and up to 16384 cartridges per library. EML-E series Library: This is an enterprise tape library solution which allows you to configure up to 192 drives per node and up to 16384 cartridges per library. Flexible emulation The ESL, EML and D2DBS emulations are particularly flexible because they allow you to configure a large number of drives per library. This has two main benefits: • It allows for more concurrent streams on backups which are throttled due to host application throughput, such as multi-streamed backups from a database. • It allows for a single library (and therefore dedupe store) to contain similar data from backups that must run in parallel to increase deduplication ratio. If using these flexible emulation types, the following factors should also be considered: • Although there are no hard limits on the number of drives that can be configured per library, there are limits on the total number of libraries and drives that can be configured on an appliance node. If you configure 1 library with 192 drives on an HP B6200 Backup system, you will still have 47 libraries available in theory, but you will have no more drives. • The total device value also applies to NAS shares and Catalyst stores. If you configure the full 240 value as VTL devices, you will not be able to configure any NAS shares or Catalyst stores for that node. • Please refer to the HP StoreOnce Backup system Concepts and Configuration Guidelines for maximum and recommended values. Interface Information tab This tab shows interface information for the media changer and drives on the selected library. The information for the Interface Information tab is generated automatically and changing it is not recommended. However, you may use this tab to adjust the port to which a drive has been assigned, see To change drive assignment (page 32). The following information is provided for a device that is configured to use the FC interface. Table 10 FC Interface Information Field Device Name Port Description The device name lists all of the devices for the specific Library. There will be an entry for the Media Changer, and for each of the drives configured. This defines the FC port to which each media changer or drive is connected.

Table 9 Emulation types for tape devices

(continued)

Description

Emulation type

This is an enterprise tape solution which allows you to configure up to 192 drives per node

and up to 16384 cartridges per library.

ESL-E series Library:

This is an enterprise tape library solution which allows you to configure up to 192 drives

per node and up to 16384 cartridges per library.

EML-E series Library:

Flexible emulation

The ESL, EML and D2DBS emulations are particularly flexible because they allow you to configure

a large number of drives per library. This has two main benefits:

•

It allows for more concurrent streams on backups which are throttled due to host application

throughput, such as multi-streamed backups from a database.

•

It allows for a single library (and therefore dedupe store) to contain similar data from backups

that must run in parallel to increase deduplication ratio.

If using these flexible emulation types, the following factors should also be considered:

•

Although there are no hard limits on the number of drives that can be configured per library,

there are limits on the total number of libraries and drives that can be configured on an

appliance node. If you configure 1 library with 192 drives on an HP B6200 Backup system,

you will still have 47 libraries available in theory, but you will have no more drives.

•

The total device value also applies to NAS shares and Catalyst stores. If you configure the

full 240 value as VTL devices, you will not be able to configure any NAS shares or Catalyst

stores for that node.

•

Please refer to the

HP StoreOnce Backup system Concepts and Configuration Guidelines

for

maximum and recommended values.

Interface Information tab

This tab shows interface information for the media changer and drives on the selected library.

The information for the Interface Information tab is generated automatically and changing it is not

recommended.

However, you may use this tab to adjust the port to which a drive has been assigned, see

change drive assignment (page 32)

The following information is provided for a device that is configured to use the FC interface.

Table 10 FC Interface Information

Description

Field

The device name lists all of the devices for the specific Library. There will be an entry for the

Media Changer, and for each of the drives configured.

Device Name

This defines the FC port to which each media changer or drive is connected. See also
