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.
To move a volume group
- In the NetBackup web UI, click Storage >Tape storage > Volume groups.
- In the right pane, select the volume group that you want to move.
- On the Actions menu (Kebab menu icon), select Move.
- In the Web UI, if you are moving a volume group to a robotic library, in the Move volume group dialog box, select Device Host and Robot. Then click Confirm. If you are moving a volume group to standalone, in the dialog box, nothing needs to be selected. Just click Confirm.
You can only specify the properties that apply for the move type.
