Media which have been moved into or within the robot

The volume group to assign to the existing media that you have inserted into the robot (or moved to a new location within the robot).

The list contains the following selections:

AUTO GENERATE

NetBackup automatically generates a new volume group.

DEFAULT

If there is an existing group with a compatible residence for the volume, the volume is added to that group. If a suitable volume group does not exist, NetBackup generates a new volume group name.

Other selections may be available, depending on the setting of the Media type field as follows:

DEFAULT

The selection includes the volume groups that are valid for the robot's default media type.

Other than DEFAULT

The selection includes the volume groups that are valid for the specified media type.

To specify a volume group other than DEFAULT, enter a volume group name or select one from the list.

If the robotic library contains multiple media types, Symantec recommends a DEFAULT setting. If you specify a volume group and volumes of different media types were moved into or within the robot, the new update fails. Volumes of different media types cannot have the same volume group.
