Hello Greg-

When redoing your vault configuration, the only gotcha is some extra 
housekeeping to make sure that your previously-vaulted media will 
continue to be tracked and properly recalled when they expire.

In order to guarantee this, you need to make sure that you update these 
offsite media to have a valid "vault name" and "volume group" value in 
the NetBackup volume database.

for example:

Suppose you started out using a vault named "V1", and that vault was 
configured to put its ejected tapes in the offsite volume group named 
"offsite-V1".

You ran this way briefly, and a single tape ABC123 was sent offsite by 
this vault.

You then decide to reconfigure NetBackup, so that instead of vault "V1" 
you now have a vault named "IronMountain" and instead of using the 
"offsite-V1" volume group, you want to use an offsite volume group 
named "offsite-IronMtn".

To achieve this, all you need to do is run the following pair of 
commands:
   vmchange -m ABC123 -vltname IronMountain
   vmchange -m ABC123 -new_v offsite-IronMtn

ps. it's possible that you are asking about a situation that is far 
more complex than the example I suggest above.  If that's the case, you 
might be best off opening a case with VRTS support.
