Moving a volume group
You can move a volume group from a robotic library to standalone storage or from standalone storage to a robotic library.
Moving a volume group changes only the residence information in the EMM database. You must move the volumes physically to their new locations.

- In the right pane, select the volume group that you want to move.
- On the Actions menu, select Move.

You can only specify the properties that apply for the move type.
