Editing Copy Pools

The following sections describe the copy pool edit operations available to the user.

Moving a Copy Pool

When there is not enough space left on a virtual library, a copy pool can be moved to a different
virtual library. To move a copy pool from one virtual library to another:
1. Select the Automigration/Replication tab and expand the task bar of the navigation pane.
2. Under Destination Libraries, select Copy Pools.
3. From the Name column in the copy pools lists, select the copy pool to be moved.
4. From the Copy Pool Details window task bar, select Change Local Library.
5. From the CHANGE LOCAL LIBRARY window, verify the current local library on which the pool
resides.
6. Select the new local library, then select Submit.
The Echo Copy Pool Details window displays, along with the message, "The local library was
successfully changed."
NOTE:
When an echo copy pool moves to a different local library, the associated automigration tapes
automatically move with it.

Slot mapping refers to the assignment of physical slots in a library to correspond to a specific virtual
copy pool. Mapping occurs as a copy pool is created; however, mapping can be changed at any

the corresponding virtual copy pool, the need to shrink an existing pool to make more room for a
growing pool, and the need to rearrange the mapping so that the pools correspond to a consecutive
set of slots.
To remove the slot mapping of any copy pool:
