What Volume group is the media you wish to restore from in? If it is not in
the local robot then you should be able to simply right click on it in the
gui and select move, to move it to another robot.
Secondly, by default when you try to restore it should try to perform the
restore from the media server that performed the backup. You can force the
restore to occur from another server by setting the
"FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER = [REMOTE SERVER] [LOCAL SERVER]". There is
another method form moving a backup image from one media server to another,
but that involves editing the catalog.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Moving an Active Tape From One Robtic Library to
Another
Hopefully someone has seen (or done this before)
Environment:
NBU 4.5 (FP3) for Solaris
(3) Sun E450 Servers (1-master, 2-media)
(2) STK L700 Robotic Libraries
(1) STK 9710 Robotic Library
We have an STK L700 library located at a remote site about 70 miles away.
Because of some retention period issues, we removed some of the full tapes
from this robot and replaced them with new scratch tapes and transported the
removed tapes back to the data center for long-term storage. Naturally,
someone wanted something restored from a tape that was formerly in the
remote robot and we thought, why not just put it in the local 9710 rather
than drive 70 miles. The process on how to do this correctly is not very
clear and when we started the restore it was still looking for the tape to
be in the remote robot.
Anybody have a fool-proof, sure fire procedure that they want to share on
how to get a scenario like this to work? I hate to think that these 200
tapes that we've relocated will have to be expired and imported into the
alternate library before we can restore from them or at the very least, we
have to drive 70 miles and reload them back into the original library.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Dennis Dwyer
