Configuring a Tape Volume Group
A tape volume group is a group of tapes that are categorized usually by function. For example, HR1
could be the designated tape volume group for all Human Resource backup tapes; EM1 could be the
designated tape volume group for all e-mail backup tapes.
Adding tape groups allows you to select the VSANs, hosts, storage devices, and paths that SME will use
for encrypted data. For example, adding a tape group for HR data sets the mapping for SME to transfer
data from the HR hosts to the dedicated HR backup tapes.
To configure a tape volume group, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
Step 2
switch(config)# sme cluster clustername1
switch(config-sme-cl)#
Step 3
switch(config-sme-cl)# tape-bkgrp groupname1
switch(config-sme-cl-tape-bkgrp)#
Step 4
switch(config-sme-cl-tape-bkgrp)# tape-device
devicename1
switch(config-sme-cl-tape-bkgrp-tapedevice)#
Step 5
switch(config-sme-cl-tape-bkgrp-tapedevice)#
tape-device devicename1 D
switch(config-sme-cl-tape-bkgrp-tapedevice)#
Step 6
switch(config-sme-cl-tape-bkgrp-tapedevice)#

Viewing Cisco SME Cluster, Internal, and Transport Information

To verify Cisco SME cluster configurations, you can use the show sme command to view a specific
cluster configuration, internal information, and transport information.
A sample output of the show sme cluster command follows:
switch# show sme cluster clustername1
SME Cluster is clustername1
Cluster ID is 2e:00:00:05:30:01:ad:f4
Cluster is Operational
Cluster is Not Shutdown
Cluster config version is 27
Security mode is basic
Cluster status is online
Total Nodes are 1
Recovery Scheme is 1 out of 1
Fabric[0] is f1
CKMC server has not been provisioned
Master Key GUID is 8c57a8d82d2098ee-3b27-6c2b116a950e, Version: 0
Shared Key Mode is Enabled
Auto Vol Group is Not Enabled
