CAUTION
In the event that the data integrity verification fails, contact Spectra Logic
Technical Support (see
Contacting Spectra Logic on page 8
) for assistance in
determining the affected files on the tape cartridge. The affected files cannot be
retrieved from the tape cartridge, and may need to be transferred to the
BlackPearl system again, if the data policy did not specify multiple copies of the
data. If you do not have copies of the affected files on your host or another
location, they are lost.
Cancel Tape Media Verification
If desired, you can cancel queued data integrity verification. Only tapes currently queued
for data integrity verification are canceled. Any tapes undergoing verification when the
cancel command is issued will complete the verification process.

ACKUP
The replicated system configuration backup stores the current configuration of all settings
for the BlackPearl system on a storage pool present in the system. This backup occurs
automatically each time you create a storage pool, or once every seven days. If you make
major changes to your BlackPearl system, Spectra Logic recommends that you backup the
configuration manually.
