Please reply if any body knows how to do it.

  • That means,

    * [media and device management]-[media], seltct A00011, delete it.
    Then add volume A00004 with same density,same location(robot type, number, and slot).

    Or

    * "vmdelete -m A00011", then "vmadd -m A00004 ...".

    Vmadd needs many option. I recommend you to use GUI.
  • 1. Expire all data with "bpexpdate -m A00011 -d 0"

    2. Delete A00011 and register A0004.

    3. Label it(GUI or bplabel -m A00004 -p pool -d density)



    If you are stand-alone drive user, some additional option(-u or so) needed with bplabel.
