Table: Move volumes properties

Property

Description

First slot number

For volumes in a robotic library, specify the first slot number to be used in the destination robotic library. By default, this box shows the slot number where the volume currently resides. NetBackup assigns the remainder of the slot numbers sequentially.

Note:

You cannot enter slot information for volumes in an API robot. The robot vendor tracks the slot locations for these robot types.

Device host

The Device host specifies the name of the device host where the robot is defined.

For single volumes, the current location of the volume appears.

NetBackup Enterprise Serve only: To select a robot on another device host, select from the list of device hosts shown.

Find Robots

Use Find Robots to find a robot that does not appear in the Robot box (for example, a new robot).

Robot

Robot specifies the new robotic library for the volumes. You can specify a different robot as the destination or Standalone.

The list shows the robot type, number, and control host for any robot that already has at least one volume in the EMM database.

Volume group

Enter or select the volume group to assign to the volumes.

If you leave the volume group blank, the following occurs:

  • Stand-alone volumes are not assigned a volume group.

  • Robotic volumes are assigned to a new volume group; NetBackup generates the name by using the robot number and type. For example, if the robot is a TL8 and has a robot number of 50, the group name is 000_00050_TL8.

Volume is in a robotic library

To inject a volume into a robotic library, select Volume is in a robotic library.

Select a robot and the slot number for the volume.

See Robot property.

See First slot number property.

To eject a volume from a robot, clear Volume is in a robotic library.

Volumes to move

The Volumes to move section of the dialog box shows the media IDs of the volumes that you selected to move.
