Dell PowerVault DL2000 - Manual (Page 6)

Media Migration
6 December 2008
The virtual disks contained in the migrated Disk Group must be cataloged in Backup Exec once
the virtual disks have been imported and inventoried on the new PowerVault DL Backup to Disk
Appliance. Cataloging the virtual disks allows Backup Exec to read and store the information
contained in the virtual disks which includes:
• Media number/label/name (something to identify that media from all others)
• Date and time of the backup
• Type of backup
• What directories/files were backed up
From the Backup Exec Management Console, perform the following steps to catalog the
imported virtual disks:
1. From the Devices tab, select the first virtual disk that was imported. Refer to Figure 1 for
an example location.
2. Select all of the media on the right.
3. Right-click all of the media and select Catalog Media from the pop-up menu. Specify
the following (if necessary) on the Catalog Job Properties dialogue:
• Under Device, specify a password if the media is password protected
• Under General, specify a job name and priority
• Under Schedule, select Run Now to start the Inventory Operation
4. Continue to specify the settings for each media in the catalog operation.
Backup Exec will catalog the media and it will be available for use.
