Running a Media Refresh Job for a Global Secondary Copy Policy

For a Global Secondary Copy Policy configured, you must run media refresh operations on the Global Secondary Copy policy and not on the copies pointing to it. The media refresh operation consolidates data on the tape network storage pool to a new media.

Procedure

1. From the CommCell Browser, expand to Storage Resources > Storage Pools.

2. Select and right-click the appropriate storage pool, and then click All Tasks > Run Media Refresh.

   The Media Refresh Options dialog box is displayed.

   For information about the options in the dialog box, see Running a Media Refresh Job.

3. Click OK.
   You can track the progress of the media refresh jobs from the Job Controller.

4. After the job is completed successfully, run the data aging job to recycle media that was selected for refresh.

   Note

   To verify the new media:
   From the CommCell Browser, expand Policies > Storage Resources > Libraries > Tape_Library > Media By Location > Media In Library. In the Media In Library pane, you will see the new media associated with the storage policy.
