Policy volume pool attribute
The Policy volume pool attribute specifies the
default volume pool where the backups for the policy are stored. A
volume pool is a group of media that is grouped together for use by
a single application. The volume pool is protected from access by
other applications and users.
Select a volume pool name
from the list of volume pools. Whenever a new volume is required,
it is allocated from the volume pool indicated.
The volume pool that is
selected on the Schedule tab
overrides the
setting.
See Override policy
volume pool schedule attribute.
Table: Default volume pools describes

NetBackup

Unless otherwise specified in the policy, all backups use media
from the NetBackup pool. One exception is the NBU-Catalog policy
type. The NBU-Catalog policy type is used for online, hot catalog
backups, which selects the CatalogBackup volume pool by default.

CatalogBackup
|
This pool is selected by default for the NBU-Catalog policy
type. It is used exclusively for online, hot catalog backups.
Online, hot catalogs are directed to a single, dedicated pool to
facilitate faster catalog restores.

The following are some additional volume pools
that can be useful to create:
-
A Scratch pool from which NetBackup can
automatically transfer volumes when another volume pool does not
have media available.
-
An Auto volume pool, for use by automatic
backups.
-
A User volume pool, for use by user backups.
Media is assigned to the
volume pools for Media Manager storage devices. Disk-type storage
devices are not allocated to a volume pool.
