About changing volume pools and groups
If you change to a new off-site volume group or
off-site volume pool(s), you can ensure that media are recalled by
configuring a profile that only generates the reports needed to
recall media, as follows:
-
Configure a vault that uses the old off-site volume
group
-
Configure a profile in that vault that does the
following:
-
Selects no images (that is, configure the Choose
Backups step so that no backup images are selected)
-
Skips the Duplication and Catalog Backup steps
-
Specifies the old volume pools in the volume pool
list on the Eject step
-
Generates only the Picking List for Vault and
Distribution List for Robot reports
-
Schedule the profile to run on a regular basis
Media in the old off-site
volume group and in the old volume pool(s) are recalled from
off-site storage as they expire. After each volume is recalled and
injected back into the robot, change its volume pool and group to
the new ones. If a volume is returned to a scratch volume pool from
which all media are allocated, you do not have to change the volume
pool.
After all media in those
volume pools and groups are recalled, you can delete the vault,
volume group, and volume pools.
Note:
|
If
you have media in your off-site vault, Symantec recommends that you
do not change or rename your off-site volume group(s) or off-site
volume pool(s). If you begin using new volume pools and groups in
your Vault profiles, the reports that recall expired media does not
include the old groups and pools.
