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

  1. Open the NetBackup web UI.
  2. On the left, select Storage > Tape storage. Then select the Volume groups tab.
  3. Select the volume group that you want to move.
  4. Select Move.
  5. You can only specify the properties that apply for the move type.

    Robot

    When you move standalone volumes, this value displays "Standalone".

    If you move a volume group to a robotic library, select the Device host and the Robot.

    If you move a volume group to standalone storage, no configuration is needed.
