I think that the media database does store the tape by pool number but the vmquery command may refer to the the poolDB file to find the associated pool name. Anyway, I'm fairly convinced that this isn't going to cause a problem. -Simon >Looks like I wont be taking this on board yet :) >I know in 3.4 it was a serious "NO" "NO" to change it! > >Simon Weaver >Technical Support >Windows Domain Administrator > >EADS Astrium >Tel: 02392-708598 > >Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: 14 December 2005 17:38 >To: WEAVER, Simon; [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Cc: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu >Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] changing pool name > > >I think the volDB stores pool by both name and number.
