Descriptions of volume pools

Hi, we are using NBU 5230 appliance (version 2.6.0.3, equalvent to NBU 7.6.0.3). The appliance is directly connected to one IBM tape library (with LTO6 tape drive) via FC connection. After setup the appliance and tape library, in NBU Administration Console, I found there are two volume pools which seems new. The two volume pools are NoBarcode and UNKNOWN. 

My question is: what are these two volume pools for? I tried to read through the administration guide but there seems be no descriptions of these volume pools. 

Thanks in advance.

  • Those are not default volume pools, they have been created manually.

    I guess the nobarcode one was for media with no barcodes, and unknown, I have no idea.

    The deafult pools are NONE, NetBackup, DataStore  and I think CatalogBackup is default as well.

    Anything else has been created manually.

    Delete the pool if you do not need them. You can't delete a pool if it contain tapes.
