Summary



This article describes how to move media from one media pool to another in the DPX GUI.

Resolution



One way of moving media from one pool to another through the GUI interface is to first delete the media from the original pool and then add it to the second pool.

If the media is appendable or full, first delete the tape from the catalog by going to Catalog > Catalog Tape Functions, selecting the tape and clicking Delete.

Then run a Catalog Condense so that when you go to Configure > Media and select the media pool, you see that the tape is now empty.

Finally, delete this volser from the media pool.

If you are using bar code labels, proceed as follows to add the tape into the new pool:

  1. Make sure the tape is in the tape library, go to Device Control and open the juke box.
  2. Either re-label the tape into the new media pool, or use the Add Media button to assign the tape to the new media pool.

If you are not using bar code labels, then:

  1. Put the tape in the tape library or stand alone drive.
  2. Go to Device Control and label the tape (remember to select the Ignore Volser option).
