Hi,
I currently have 2 volumes labeled Storage1 and Storage2. They are
physically different tape autoloader and they back up different sets of
servers. Initially Storage1 server had lots of data so we assigned
plenty of tapes to that set. However more recently the servers backing
up to Storage2 is growing in data more rapidly.
Basically I'd like to move some tapes that are being used on Storage1
onto Storage2. Since I'm using bacula console, I initially thought of
doing a delete->volume->Storage1. Then label the tape as a new volume in
Storage2. However bacula will mount the tape and detect that it contains
a label namely from Storage1. I had already deleted the volume but it's
still detecting the volume in the tape. How do I clear the contents for
this particular tape so that I can use it as a new volume?
You clear the label from the tape by overwriting it, for example using
'mt weof' on it twice.
In any case, I think you took the wrong route...
It would have been easier to simply move the tape from one autoloader to
the other and have it detected with the 'update slots' command. As long
as you use identical Media types, that should have been all. If you used
different Media Types, you would first adjust tis information in the
catalog.

Thanks!
