Volume Configuration Example 3: Moving Existing Volumes Within A Robot On UNIX/Linux
Volume Configuration Example 3: Moving Existing Volumes Within A Robot On UNIX/Linux
The following is an example of how to move a volume from one slot to another slot within the same robot. The robot supports bar codes and the volume has a readable bar code. Note: To move volumes within a robotic library, use Update volume configuration only if the robotic library supports bar codes and the volumes have readable bar codes. Otherwise, NetBackup cannot properly recognize the move. The following are the attributes for media ID 800002, which currently resides in slot 1 of the robotic library: media ID media type bar code media description volume pool robot type robot number robot slot robot host volume group 800002 8MM cartridge tape TL800002 tl8 backup NetBackup TL8 - Tape Library 8MM 0 1 shark EXB220
max mounts allowed 0 (unlimited) Assume that you move the volume to empty slot 10, specify the following on the Media Settings tab, then run the update. media type volume group DEFAULT EXB220
The resulting volume attributes are the following: media ID media type bar code media description volume pool robot type robot number robot slot robot host volume group 800002 8MM cartridge tape TL800002 tl8 backup NetBackup TL8 - Tape Library 8MM 0 10 shark EXB220
max mounts allowed 0 (unlimited) The updated volume attributes show the new slot number, but all other information is unchanged.
