Example 1: Removing a volume from a robot

The following is an example of how to remove a volume from a robotic library. It does not matter whether the robot supports bar codes.

The following are the attributes for media ID 800001:

media ID	800001
media type	8MM cartridge tape
bar code	TL800001
media description	tl8 backup volume
volume pool	NetBackup
robot type	TL8 - Tape Library 8MM
volume group	EXB220
max mounts allowed	0 (unlimited)

Assume that you remove the volume from the robotic library, specify the following on the Media Settings tab, then run the update:

media type	DEFAULT
volume group	NONROB_8MM
volume pool	DEFAULT

The resulting volume attributes for media ID 800001 are as follows:

media ID	800001
media type	8MM cartridge tape
bar code	TL800001
media description	tl8 backup volume
volume pool	NetBackup
robot type	NONE - Not Robotic
volume group	NONROB_8MM
max mounts allowed	0 (unlimited)

The new residence information in the EMM database shows a stand-alone location in the volume group. The volume group is specified on the Media Settings tab. The media type and volume pool remain unchanged.

The results are the same for a volume that does not have a bar code.
