1 – Overview This article outlines the procedures for integrating CLARiiON® Disk Library platforms with Veritas Netbackup 5.0. The equipment used in this procedure was 1 MDS 9509 running Fabric OS 3.0 (2a), 1 DL310 running Code Release 2.2 and 1 Windows 2003 Server (SP 1) with 2 QLogic QLA2342 HBAs running Code Release 9.1.2.16 (Driver), 1.47 (BIOS) and 3.0.3.19 (Firmware). The CLARiiON Disk Library is emulating 1 ADIC i2000 Tape Library with 5 Quantum Super DLT1 Tape Drives.

2 – MDS Initial Switch Configuration

2.1 – MDS Configuration Settings

1. Double click on Fabric Manager to launch the application.

2. Type the proper credentials to login.


3. The main page will appear as shown below. All Directors are visible under the Switches tab and a view of the topology is displayed.

2.2 – MDS Zoning Configuration

4. Within the Fabric Manager window, locate the new host entry under the Hosts tab. Identify the new entry based upon know Blade/Port location or World Wide Name.

Next, enter an Enclosure Name and Device Alias. This will make things much easier when zoning since you will not have to know the WWN of the device. Finally, highlight the new entry and it will be identified in the topology map at the lower portion of the screen. Next, go to the Zone and select Edit Local Full Zone Database to start creating zones.


5. Select LAB_Cisco_Fabric_1 to edit the Local Full Zone Database for VSAN 100 on chi-tsg-sw9509-1.


6. You will receive a confirmation of the VSAN selected in the previous step.

7. Within the Edit Local Full Zone Database window, right click on Zones and select ‘insert’. The Zones folder is a staging area where zones are created and then applied to the active Zoneset later on.


8. Give the zone a meaningful name. Example: chiwinnw1_hba0_dl300 to identify that HBA 0 from chiwinnw1 goes to CLARiiON Disk Library 300.

9. Within the Edit Local Full Zone Database window, select the Initiator (Host HBA WWN) and Target (Storage Port WWN) and drag them from the devices shown in the lower right hand portion of the page to the zone you created in the previous step. Notice that the names are populated in the Name field. This is a result of the work performed in step 4 when the Enclosure Name and Device Alias information was entered.


10. Within the Edit Local Full Zone Database window, select the zone you created

and populated in steps 4-9 within the Zones folder and drag it to the zs_test Zoneset under Zonesets. Next, highlight zs_test Zoneset and select Activate from the lower portion of the window.

11. Within the Save Configuration window, checkmark the ‘Save Running to Startup Configuration’ and select Continue Activation. The Save Running to Startup Configuration option is very important because it saves the running configuration to the startup configuration. Without this, the changes would be lost upon reboot or failure of the Directors.


3 – CLARiiON Disk Library Configuration

3.1 – CDL Console Configuration

1. Double click on CLARiiON Disk Library Console to launch the application.

2. Navigate through the CDL Library Console screen to locate the proper CDL unit. Next, right click on the CDL unit and select Connect.


3. Type the proper credentials to login

3.2 – CDL Virtual Tape Library Configuration

4. From within the CDL Console, right click on Virtual Tape Libraries and select Configuration Wizard.


5. Select Next to start creating a Virtual Tape Library.

6. From within the Virtual Library Wizard, select the appropriate emulated Virtual Library. The Virtual Library Name will be automatically populated, but can be changed to meet your requirements.


3.3 – CDL Virtual Tape Drive Configuration

7. From within the Virtual Library Wizard, select the appropriate emulated Virtual Drive. The Virtual Drive Name will be automatically populated, but can be changed to meet your requirements.


3.4 – CDL Auto Archive and Barcode Configuration

8. We are not utilizing Auto Archive in this configuration, so you can select Next to continue with the configuration.

9. Enter the Barcode Start and End ranges, Library Slot Count, uncheck Export to Physical Tape option and define the Import/Export Slot range.


10. You will now see a confirmation dialog that outlines the selections made in steps 4-9. Once the selections are confirmed, select Finish to commit the configuration.


11. You will now see the confirmation output from the configuration being successfully committed during the previous step.

3.5 – CDL Virtual Tape Configuration

12. Select Yes after successfully creating a virtual tape library to create virtual tapes.

13. Select the Initial Virtual Tape Size, Number of Virtual Tapes and select OK to continue.


14. You will now see the confirmation output from the configuration being successfully committed during the previous step.


3.6 – CDL SAN Client Configuration

15. Select Next after successfully creating Virtual Tape to Add SAN Clients.

16. Enter the Client Name IP Address or Resolvable Name of the Client and select Find. The Client is the host that you plan to share the Virtual Tape Library resources with. Status output will indicate that the client name is resolvable. Select Next to continue with the configuration.


17. Select the World Wide Port Name (WWPN) of the HBA that was zoned in the

previous Zoning steps. Place a checkmark at the proper Initiator WWPN and select Next to Continue.

18. We do not need Volume Set Addressing, IBM i-Series Server Support or Celerra Support for this configuration; select Next to continue.


19. You will now see a confirmation dialog that outlines the selections made during

steps 15-18. Once you have confirmed the selections, select Finish to commit the configuration.

20. Select No to creating more SAN Clients and continue to the Virtual Library to SAN Clients configuration.


3.7 – CDL Virtual Library Resources to SAN Clients Configuration

21. Select Next after successfully adding SAN Clients to assign Virtual Library resources to SAN Clients.

22. Select the appropriate Tape Library/Drives that were created in steps 4-11. Once you have checkmarked the appropriate Virtual Library, select Next to continue with the configuration.


23. You will now see a confirmation dialog that outlines the selections made during steps 21-22. Once you confirm the selections, select Finish to commit the configuration.

3.8 – CDL Physical Tape Libraries and Drives Integration Configuration

24. Select Skip after successfully assigning Virtual Library resources to SAN Clients

to skip preparing physical Tape Libraries and Tape Drives. Use this option if you are exporting Virtual Volumes directly to Physical Volumes.


25. Select Skip after skipping physical Tape Libraries and Tape Drives to skip assigning physical Tape Libraries and Tape Drives. Use this option if you were exporting Virtual Volumes directly to Physical Volumes.

26. Select Finish to complete and exit the CLARiiON Disk Library Configuration Wizard.


3.9 – CDL Configuration Confirmation

27. Navigate through the CLARiiON Disk Library Console directory structure to reach SAN Clients, created SAN Client, Virtual Tape Library and Virtual Tape Drives.
