This is the script I wrote, no guarentees, no support, based on
available_media The argument for vmchange ( -p 4 ) needs to be changed based
on the output of 

/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmpool  -listall     



#! /bin/sh
VMQUERY=/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmquery
VMPOOL=/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmpool

TR=/usr/bin/tr

/bin/rm -rf /tmp/avail_media_output
/bin/rm -rf /tmp/avail_media_sorted_output
/bin/touch /tmp/avail_media_output

TAB=`/bin/echo ' ' | $TR ' ' '\011'`

VMPOOL_OUTPUT=/tmp/vmpool_output
/bin/rm -rf $VMPOOL_OUTPUT
touch $VMPOOL_OUTPUT

VMQUERY_OUTPUT=/tmp/vmquery.out
ASTERISK_DISPLAYED=/tmp/asterisk_displayed

(
        $VMQUERY -pn NetBackup -bx 2>/dev/null    | tail +4
1>>$VMQUERY_OUTPUT 2>/dev/null
        $VMQUERY -pn HostBackups -bx 2>/dev/null  | tail +4
1>>$VMQUERY_OUTPUT 2>/dev/null




        cat $VMQUERY_OUTPUT |sort -u|
        while read vmediaid vmediatype vrobottype vrobotnum vrobotslot vside
vvol vop vmnts vlmtdate vlmttime vasgndate vasgntime vpool 
        do
                /bin/rm -rf /tmp/bpmediaid_found

                if [ "${vasgndate}" = "---" -a "${vasgntime}" = "---" ]
                then

                        /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmchange -p 4 -m $vmediaid

                        /bin/echo "Changing Volume Group for $vmediaid" 

                fi
        done
