If you want to move an assigned tape from one volume pool to another
you will first have to unassign the tape and then re-assign it.
This is from the technote "Media Manager error 94: "Volume not in
specified pool" - scenarios and solutions "
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/247898.htm
 
NOTE: PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE TECHNOTE!!!! 
I just cut/pasted snippets.
 
 
Corrective Action:



Perform all the steps below on the master server MST:





a. De-assign the media temporarily from the volume database (volDB)
using the command:



/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmquery -deassignbyid  <media_id> <pool_number>
<status>  (UNIX platform)

<install_path>\VERITAS\volmgr\bin\vmquery -deassignbyid <media_id>
<pool_number> <status> (Windows platforms)



The pool number and the status number can be obtained by running
vmquery -m <media_id>.  



In the example: vmquery -deassignbyid ABC123 1 0 





b. Change the volume pool from 1 to 2 as we need the media to be in the
volume pool associated with MS_A in order to expire it out of MS_A
mediaDB, use the command:



/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmchange -p <pool_number> -m <media_id> (UNIX
platforms)

<install_path>\VERITAS\volmgr\bin\vmchange -p <pool_number> -m
<media_id> (Windows platforms)



In the example: vmchange -p 2 -m ABC123





f. Assign the media back for MS_B use:



vmquery -assignbyid <media_id> <media_type> <pool_number> <status>
<assigntime> 



In the example: vmquery -assignbyid ABC123 4mm 1 0 1023177993



Please Note that assigning the media back for MS_B use is very
important as this enables further backups to be appended. If the media
is not re-assigned, backups would effectively start at the beginning of
the tape, thus overwriting any existing images of MS_B.

Yup

bpmedia -m AB1234 -movedb -newserver my-new-media-server -oldserver
my-old-server

Then it moves it.
