If you're just looking for a view of what is in your ATL then right
click on the column name and go to filter (in the windows gui.)  Filter
by slot and put in ">" which will give you nothing but the tapes in the
library.  I've got tape retentions going back 5 years, so when I want a
clearer picture of what's in the ATL I use this method because as far as
I'm aware changing the volume pool of an assign volume is either
impossible or involves a pretty dirty hack.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Managing Tape Rotations



I'm trying to work out a good tape rotation policy, and I'm trying to
get vault to work the way I want it.  Basically the tapes are replaced
every month, and rotated back in every 6 months (they get erased when
rotated back in).  With Vault, I've noticed that the "vaulted" tapes
remain in the same volume pool that they were assigned to but are moved
to a different volume group.  With out unassigning the tape, and
basically losing the data on said tape, is there a way to move the tape
to a different Volume Pool (not volume group) while the tape is vaulted
/ moved off-site?  I'm dealing with hundreds of tapes, and my Volume
pools are becoming cluttered with vaulted tapes.

Is there a better tape rotation system to use besides Vault, and what
would any of you suggest?
