Example of overriding the policy volume pool

The following example shows how to override the policy volume pool from the policy Schedule tab. In this example, we change a policy named Backup-Archive. Until now, all schedules in the policy have used the Backups volume pool. Change the policy so that the user-archive schedule uses the Archive pool instead.

To override the Policy volume pool attribute

  1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, in the left pane, expand NetBackup Management > Policies
  2. In the left pane, select the Backup-Archive policy and on the Edit menu, click Change.
  3. In the policy Attributes tab, on the Policy volume pool list, select Backups.
  4. Click the Schedules tab.
  5. Select the schedules that use the Backups volume pool, and click Properties.
  6. Make sure that Override policy volume pool is unchecked, and click OK to save the change in the schedule.
  7. Select the user-archive schedule that you want assigned to the Archive volume pool, and click Properties.
  8. Check Override policy volume pool.
  9. Underneath the check box, select Archive from the list.
  10. Click OK to save the change in the schedule.
  11. Click OK to save the change in the policy.
