Example 3: Moving existing volumes within a robot

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	800002
media type	8MM cartridge tape
bar code	TL800002
media description	tl8 backup
volume pool	NetBackup
robot type	TL8 - Tape Library 8MM
robot number	0
robot slot	1
robot host	shark
volume group	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	DEFAULT
volume group	EXB220
use bar code rules	NO (not selected)
volume pool	DEFAULT

The resulting volume attributes are the following:

media ID	800002
media type	8MM cartridge tape
bar code	TL800002
media description	tl8 backup
volume pool	NetBackup
robot type	TL8 - Tape Library 8MM
robot number	0
robot slot	10
robot host	shark
volume group	EXB220
max mounts allowed	0 (unlimited)

The updated volume attributes show the new slot number, but all other information is unchanged.
