Veritas NetBackup™ Administrator's Guide, Volume I

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

  1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, in the left pane, expand Media and Device Management > Media.
  2. In the right pane, select the volume group that you want to move.
  3. On the Actions menu, select Move.
  4. In the Move Volume Group dialog box, specify the properties for the move.

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

    The dialog box shows a move from standalone to the robot TL4(0) on host prize.
