No don't want to follow this doc really - and to be honest the tape will
have a retention of 1 year - its not going to kill anyone if it sits in this
pool!

At the end of the day, Netbackup will know about it and when the media is
needed, put it into the pool it came from!

Well, it can be de-assigned and reassigned.
but you may get problems with error code 94's

How to do it? Check out the how to fix error code 94's

Media Manager error 94: "Volume not in specified pool" - scenarios and
solutions 
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/247898.htm 


personally, I would just do a bpduplicate and make the duplicate the primary
copy and then expire copy 1.

That is EXACTLY what I told them!! (people who know better!!)

Sure this was the case, but my understanding is this:

1) When a Media ID (or volume if you want to call it that) is assigned to a
Volume Pool, its stuck there
2) The Volume will STAY here until its expired or manually expired or
deassigned
3) There are valid images on the media - trying to deassign could lose them
(or cause issues)
4) Should plan better when using Volume Poole

Any comments welcome

I don't think you can change volume pools of a tape if it has images on it.
It normally needs to be expired first, which of course will mean it can be
re-used.
