Volume Pool
Created: 17 Jul 2012 | Updated: 02 Aug 2012
Hi all.
I want to change the volume pool of more then 50 clients. Is there any script for this. If i do this for individual client its very much time consuming.

Hi,
Yes possible .....but depend on how you configured policy !!
Are this 50 client configured with separate policy or multiple client in few policy ?

These are in diff. policies
Thanks...
Martin thanks for the solution but maximum clients are in diff. policies..
Please suggest, otherwise its much time consuming
Maybe if you summarise
what you've got & what you want to see following changes to VPs then we *may* be able to suggest something a bit more specific?

summarise
Want to change the volume pool of more then 50 clients . They were in same as well as a different policies.
Please suggest how it will happen in a single instance . is there any script for this??
"is there any script for this?"
In short .... no. You'd need to script it yourself & it would depend on what your current situation is & what result you want.
Unfortunately saying that you've over 50 clients in the same & different policies that need changing does not really clarify, sorry.
Additionally, as you can obviously only change the volume pool at policy or schedule level, then you will hit issues if you have more than one client in a policy & they need to use different volume pools.

you do know ...
you cannot change Volume Pool for existing images?
However you implement the change if you want old images in the new Pool you'd have to duplicate them.
will restore -- where there is a Will there is a way
hhhmmm,
@ Andy sir "50 clients in the same & different policies that"
may be few client with separate policy & few policies with multiple clients
@ wannawin
volume pool change | 50 clients | multiple policies | may be schedule override | scripting... | etc.....
considering myself at your place then i will do by GUI ---- 15 - 20 Clients everyday

I agree with Bill: you cannot
I agree with Bill:
You can change pool in Policy attributes or in Schedules for future backups.

There's a thought.
Are we looking at images already 'produced' or potential images?
Must admit I am looking at this from a current config perspective with regards to policies/schedules as opposed to any images that are already on media.
