How to put the new tape to the correct Volume Group?
Hi all,
I have tape library consist of LTO4 and LTO5, with the following coniguration:
Media Type Volume Group
HCART (LTO4) 003_00003_TLD
HCART2 (LTO5) 001_00003_TLD
Then I add several LTO5 tape directly by opening the TapeLibrary (I shutdown the media server that control the robot and shutdown the TL) then after that I brought it up and I did some inventory. As usual the new LTO5 tapes Media Type became HCART and go to Volume Group: 003_00003_LTD.
I can change the the media type easily by using this command:
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmchange -new_mt HCART2 -m 600200
But how can I change the Volume Group to 001_00003_TLD? I tried using GUI but the error said its a "media type and volume group mismatch". Any sugestion? I can redo the whole thing if needed since the tapes not in use yet. (the Netbackup is version 7.5.0.4)
Thank you.

You need to add Barcode Rules to ensure that LTO5 media will be added as HCART2.
This will ensure that they are automatically added to correct volume group.
