Cataloging the migrated disk group
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 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:
