Volume pool (new media setting)

The volume pool for the new media. The actions depend on whether you use barcode rules to assign media attributes, as follows:

DEFAULT

DEFAULT. If you select DEFAULT and:

  • Use barcode rules, the barcode rules determine the volume pool to which new volumes are assigned

  • Do not use barcode rules, NetBackup assigns data tapes to the NetBackup pool but does not assign cleaning tapes to a volume pool

A specific volume pool.

If you use barcode rules, this volume pool setting always overrides the rule.
