Are you frustrated with your current backup and recovery performance?
The HP StorageWorks 6000 Virtual Library System is a single-node solution that offers fast data protection and backup in complex
SAN environments and scales in performance and capacity to 600 MB/sec and 122 TB of useable storage with 2:1 hardware
compression. With the licensing of Accelerated deduplication which retains up to 50 times more data readily available on disk, you
can obtain faster backup performance since the deduplication process doesn't impact the backup. Deduplication-enabled (previously
called low-bandwidth) replication enables fast, low-cost disaster recovery between remote sites. The VLS6000 integrates seamlessly
into existing backup applications and processes. It is a self-managed, auto configured, auto monitored and performance-tuned
appliance and easily installed via a simple graphic interface. The VLS6000 uses RAID 6 technology and highly reliable ProLiant
servers that reduce the risk of data loss.

Accelerated deduplication and deduplication-enabled replication can be licensed for the VLS6000
A single-node solution that offers industry-leading performance and easily scales in performance
and capacity to 600 MB/sec and up to122 TB of useable storage, with 2:1 hardware
compression (VLS6600 only)
Hardware RAID 6 reduces the risk of data loss
Certified with popular backup software packages through HP StorageWorks Enterprise Backup
Solution (
www.hp.com/go/ebs
)
A highly available solution using HP ProLiant servers with redundant subsystems: fans, power
supply units, hardware-mirrored systems disks and hot swap array drives
Ships with Automigration - software included with the VLS GUI which simplifies moving cartridge
data from the VLS to a tape library or another Virtual Library System.
The VLS6000 supports up to 10,000 slots and 32,000 cartridges (only when using the VLS
firmware version 3.X or higher required for Accelerated deduplication).

Accelerated deduplication
Accelerated deduplicationAccelerated deduplication
Accelerated deduplication
The VLS6000 now supports the option of capacity licensing for Accelerated deduplication. One
VLS6000 license T9707A or T9707AAE (NOTE: Electronic software is available in all countries except
China and Japan. For China and Japan should order the physical equivalent.) is required for each shelf
with 250 GB or 500 GB disks (4.4 TB) and two licenses are required for each shelf with 750 GB disks
(6.6 TB) or 1 TB disks (8 TB). Accelerated deduplication retains up to 50 times more data readily
available on disk by replacing redundant blocks of data with pointers to the original block. Accelerated
deduplication delivers fast backup performance since the deduplication process does not impact the
backup. Accelerated deduplication delivers fast restore performance since the latest backup copy is
always retained in its entirety while data reduction occurs on the previous backups. Accelerated
deduplication needs to recognize the specific backup application being used since it initially strips out
the cartridge headers in order to decompose all the files and data types in order to do file-level
comparisons to previous backups.

The HP 6000 Virtual Library System is deployed, managed and operated just like a tape library
minimizing disruptions to your environment. Emulations include the HP ESL E-series and MSL tape
libraries as well as 1/8 G2 tape autoloaders. The VLS6000 also emulates the HP Ultrium 230 Tape
Drives (LTO-1), HP Ultrium 460 Tape Drives (LTO-2), HP Ultrium 960 Tape Drives (LTO-3), HP Ultrium
1840 Tape Drives (LTO-4 capacity only, no encryption), DLT 7000, DLT 8000, and SDLT 320 Tape

Replication
The HP StorageWorks 6200 and 6600 Virtual Library Systems support the license of deduplicationenabled replication. This application, which layers on top of Accelerated deduplication, allows customers
to implement low-cost disaster recovery between multiple geographically-dispersed data centers. It
allows these VLS systems to synchronize via low cost IP-WAN connections by only sending the changes
(after data deduplication) across the wire. Deduplication-enabled replication provides an improved
disaster recovery solution that allows customers to reduce or eliminate off site vaulting of tapes (including
associated services) and reduce or eliminate media handling costs.

Automigration
AutomigrationAutomigration
Automigration
The HP StorageWorks 6200 and 6600 Virtual Library Systems support Automigration. This service is a
form of "disk cache to tape", called "echo copy", which allows copies of data to be moved off the virtual
library to a physical library or another VLS under the control of the VLS, not the backup application.
Future updates will allow full integration with ISVs via SMI-S 1.3 specifications supporting what is known
as "smart copy". HP Data Protector 6.1 supports smart copy. Automigration is an HP developed
intellectual property and does not require licensing. SAN based Automigration is only supported on nondeduplication/replication enabled VLS systems.
Automigration - Echo
Automigration - EchoAutomigration - Echo
Automigration - Echo
Copy
CopyCopy
Copy
Echo copy can streamline the process and reduce the costs of making physical tape cartridges from
virtual tape cartridges, for vaulting and off-sitting purposes. Echo copy is run through the Automigration
software (a tab on the VLS GUI), not the backup application. It acts as a transparent disk cache to the
physical library, so that the backup application writes to virtual cartridges in the virtual library, and
Automigration then automatically schedules the copies from virtual cartridges to their matching physical
cartridges (with the same barcodes) based on the Automigration policies the user establishes.
Since Echo copy is managed through the Automigration software, not the backup application, the
destination library is not visible to the backup application - so no licensing is required. Copy traffic is no
longer routed through the SAN which speeds up the copy process. Since the tape library is dedicated to
the VLS no copy servers are required. Echo copy also eliminates the need for tape-to-tape copy
administration since this is automated through copy policy management. All destination tapes created by
echo copy are in the native tape format, so they can be easily restored directly from any tape drive or
library that is visible to the backup application.

Smart copy provides the same capabilities with one important exception. Smart Copy allows the backup
ISV to initiate the copy with the VLS6000 actually implementing the move. The cartridge bar codes
between the two copies are different and the backup ISV is able to track the move. SMI-S 1.3 support is
required by the ISV to be able to implement Smart Copy. HP Data Protector 6.1 supports smart copy.

These days, you need to get the most out of your storage investment-you can't afford not to. When you buy HP storage products and
solutions, it's also a good time to think about what levels of service and support you may need. To help take the worry out of
deploying, designing, maintaining, and managing your environment, we've designed a portfolio of service options that are as:
flexible, reliable and scalable as your storage. Unlike storage-only vendors, we take a holistic approach to your entire environment,
bridging storage, servers, blades, software and network infrastructures with our HP Care Pack packaged services for Storage.
Protect your business beyond the warranty
When it comes to robustness and reliability, standard warranties on today's computing equipment have matured just as the
technologies have matured. Good news on some fronts-but also a source of potential problems and subsequent consequences that
come from depending on standard warranties alone. Standard warranty protects against product defects and some causes of
downtime- but not the business. By using a standard approach to warranty uplifts, such as HP Care Pack Services, you can reduce
downtime risks and be more certain of operational consistency for both mission-critical and standard business computing. Simply
put, HP Care Pack Services normalize the warranty of combined products - helping you proactively guard against unplanned
downtime.

NOTE:
NOTE:NOTE:
NOTE:
In addition to the capacity deduplication licensing for VLS here are other key
considerations:
There is a REQUIREMENT for 16 GB of RAM for each ProLiant server in order
to support Accelerated deduplication and deduplication-enabled replication.
Newer VLS6000 systems (AH809B, AH810B, AH811B, and AH812B) come
standard with 16 GB of RAM. For older VLS6000 systems shipped with 4 GB
RAM (AH809A, AH810A, AH811A, AH812A) you will need to add 12 GB
RAM. This involves ordering the following part numbers for each node:
397413-B21 HP 4GB FBD PC2-5300 2x2GB Kit
397415-B21 HP 8GB FBD PC2-5300 2x4GB Kit
Minimum of VLS firmware level 3.1 must be used to support Accelerated
deduplication. This firmware will only be available (initially) as a web
download.
You will need to reference the following website for configuration, capacity and
performance considerations for sizing VLS Accelerated deduplication
configurations and use models.
www.hp.com/support/vls_dedup
Accelerated deduplication needs to recognize the specific backup application
being used since it initially strips out the cartridge headers in order to
decompose all the files and data types in order to do file-level comparisons to
previous backups. Check the EBS website for the latest Accelerated
deduplication supported backup ISVs and data types
http://www.hp.com/go/ebs
NOTE:
NOTE:NOTE:
NOTE:
The entire VLS device must be licensed for deduplication - no partial
licenses supported. Deduplication licenses will be installed via the VLS GUI
license plug-in.

One VLS license T5537A or T5537AAE** is required per VLS6000 for target
sites only - none required on source site for active-passive configurations. For
active-active configurations involving bi-directional replication, each site
requires a license.

**Electronic software is available in all countries except China and Japan. For China

NOTE:
NOTE:NOTE:
NOTE:
In addition to the deduplication-enabled replication licensing for VLS here are
other key considerations:
All VLS systems involved with replication (whether a source or target) must all be
licensed for Accelerated deduplication. In addition they have the same HW
requirements and considerations as for Accelerated deduplication (see above).
Minimum of VLS firmware level 3.2 must be used to support deduplicationenabled replication. This replication firmware will be included in the 3.2 release
and can be activated through licensing.
Four modes of deduplication-enabled replication will be supported including:
two-site active-passive (replication in one direction), two-site active-active
(replication in both directions) many to one supporting up to four sites all
replicating to a fifth site and N-way with four sites (similar to two-site activeactive). Each site is a source and target.
C&I services will provide analysis, design, implementation and testing necessary
to deploy a VLS solution with Accelerated deduplication and deduplicationenabled replication.
