Media which have been removed from the robot should be assigned to the volume group options:

• Default: If there is an existing group with a compatible residence for the volume, the volume is added to that group. If a suitable volume group does not exist, NetBackup generates a new volume group name.

• Auto-generate: NetBackup automatically generates a new volume group.

• No volume group: The media are not assigned to a volume group.

Media which have been moved into or within the robot should be assigned to the volume group options:

• Default: Includes the volume groups that are valid for the robot's default media type.

• Auto-generate: NetBackup automatically generates a new volume group.

• If the Media type is a value other than Default: Includes the volume groups that are valid for the specified media type. To specify a volume group other than Default, select a volume group name from the list.
