I have a bunch of data in a very end of support tape library. I need to get it out of teh tape library and into somewhere else.
If I configure an HPE Storeonce library and use that as an auxcopy target will the storeonce be able to deduplicate the data coming off tape? I’m unfamilair with Catalyst - and I vaguely recall that in an aux copy scenario chunks are moved from place to place without any actual processing that might be required for catalyst/dedupe processing.
Greetings from Commvault Support.
To understand better & to simplify
You want to move the Data from Tape to Catalyst storage,( with deduplication enabled on storage level store once ).
If so, Yes you can do it. Here the process,
Things to note before starting
New Aux copy policy ( Make sure your choosing sync copy to copy all the data )
need to be created on the concern Storage policy without deduplication enabled from Commvault end.
Choose the aux copy primary copy is tape from copy policy properties,
Have a check Deduplication is enabled on Storage level first.
Then you can trigger the aux copy which will move the data from tape to Disk,
Note :
Make sure you have enough free tape drive while performing this operation.
If you have any question please do let us know.
Hi

As the options for deduplication, data compression and data encryption are provided in the device, these options are not available in the Storage Policy Copy associated with a HPE Catalyst Storage library.
