Move 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 NetBackup. You must move the volumes physically to their new locations.
To move a volume group
- Open the NetBackup web UI.
- On the left, select Storage > Tape storage. Then select the Volume groups tab.
- Select the volume group that you want to move.
- Select Move.
- You can only specify the properties that apply for the move type.
