Hello,
I had the following problem. After a tape error occured on one old
tape, I wanted to copy the tape contens to disk and from there to a
new tape using the same label than the damaged tape. Therefore I
labeled the new tape with btape.
How did you copy the tape's contents? Using baculas tools, or, for
example, dd and mt?
I used bcopy.
Copying was successfull, but after all, using readlabel (from btape)
reported that the new tape is in "Default" pool and not like the old
tape in my pool "Inc-Pool".
Well, that's what is written on the tape. The catalog data is still
correct, I think.
Yes, the catalog is still correct.
And here comes my question. Is it possible to set the PoolName while
labeling with btape? Or else is it possible to change the PoolName (on
the Volume Label) after labeling (and maybe copying)?
I don't know about copying, but afterwards changing the tape label is
definitely not a good idea... as I know from experience, you can change
the pool a tape is assigned to without problems, so he pool name on the
tape is probably not used in normal operation.
In other words - don't worry.
For further backup jobs this is no problem, but if I want to use bscan
to compare the tape with the catalog it checks the pool definition on
the tape, too. And what if I want to use bscan to recreate the catalog
data some time later? Then it will also create the pool "Default", right?
