Configuring Auxiliary Copy for HPE StoreOnce Catalyst Library

To perform Auxiliary Copy operations on HPE Catalyst library which uses different MediaAgents in the primary copy and secondary copy, the MediaAgent associated with the secondary copy must have access to the library configured in the primary copy.

For example:

• Primary copy is configured with MA1 and Lib 1

• Secondary copy is configured with MA2 and Lib 2

In the above example, MA2 should be shared with Lib 1 using the Mount Path Properties dialog box associated with Lib1.

Before You Begin

Setup the following before configuring the Auxiliary Copy operations for the HPE Catalyst library.

1. Configure the HPE Catalyst library as described in Configuring a HPE Store as a HPE Catalyst Library.

2. Create a Storage Policy using the newly created HPE Catalyst Storage library.For more information on creating storage policies, see Storage Policy - Getting Started.

   • While creating the Storage Policy, in the Do you want to use Storage Pool? page, click Add, and then click Disk to create a storage pool using the HPE Catalyst Storage library.

   • While creating the storage pool, in the Advance settings for the primary copy page, do not enable Software Encryption.

3. Create a secondary copy using the Disk storage pool that was created while creating the Storage Policy. For more information about creating a copy, see Creating a Synchronous Copy Using a Storage Pool.
