Well, it can be de-assigned and reassigned. but you may get problems with error code 94's
How to do it? Check out the how to fix error code 94's Media Manager error 94: "Volume not in specified pool" - scenarios and solutions http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/247898.htm personally, I would just do a bpduplicate and make the duplicate the primary copy and then expire copy 1. >>> "WEAVER, Simon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 3/6/2006 8:59:54 AM >>> Dave That is EXACTLY what I told them!! (people who know better!!) Sure this was the case, but my understanding is this: 1) When a Media ID (or volume if you want to call it that) is assigned to a Volume Pool, its stuck there 2) The Volume will STAY here until its expired or manually expired or deassigned 3) There are valid images on the media - trying to deassign could lose them (or cause issues) 4) Should plan better when using Volume Poole Any comments welcome Simon Weaver Technical Support Windows Domain Administrator EADS Astrium Tel: 02392-708598 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Dave Markham [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 06 March 2006 13:56 To: WEAVER, Simon Cc: 'veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu' Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] should you move live media to a new pool - thoughtit woudl fail I don't think you can change volume pools of a tape if it has images on it. It normally needs to be expired first, which of course will mean it can be re-used. Dave WEAVER, Simon wrote: > Hi > Could I get clarification?
