I think the volDB stores pool by both name and number.  You might get in
trouble by changing the poolDB file.

Do a "vmquery -w -a" to see both fields (fields 12 & 13).

You should be ok then! Yes I checked, but I did wonder if a name change was
not allowed, even by editing poolDB file!

But if it works, its something I will take on board now :-)

As far as I can tell, no. The image database knows the pool by number, 
not by name. If you print out the poolDB file, the first column is a 
number that netbackup associates with that pool. All images seem to 
reference that number rather than the pool name, so changing the pool 
name has no effect. Changing the number would probably be a disaster.
