Changing a tape to SCRATCH with vmchange

[sgoldsmith]

Anyone got any ideas about this one?

I want to change all unallocated tapes in the silo to the SCARTCH pool.

I've generated the list of these tapes, however, when I run the following command:

vmchange -M master1 -h master1 -p SCRATCH -m mediaid

the tape "mediaid" is moved to the pool of None. Not SCRATCH?
If this process is done manually in xvmadm it moves the volume to SCRATCH no problem.

Any ideas.

Solved it myself!!!

The pool part must be the pool number - not the name... stupid me!!!
