Moving Media

Use this function to move media from one media pool to another. When
you move media to another media pool, all the media information such as
condition, type, medium ID, and session information is transferred to the
new media pool.

and condition of an individual selected Data Protector medium. This is a

HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Manager

Querying the STK ACSLM Host

If you want to get information about a repository in the STK library from
the server, you can query the ACSLM host. Querying ACSLM queries
the ACSLS database, and then synchronizes the information in the IDB
with what is actually in the repository.

This is especially useful if you were using STK commands to manage
media, as this results in inconsistencies with the IDB - Data Protector
does not know the latest status of media in the library repository.

1. In the

HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Manager

, switch to

the

Devices & Media

context.

2. In the list of configured devices click the name of the library, then

expand it to display the

Drives

and

Slots

items.

3. Right-click the device that you want to query, and then click

Query

.
