Catalog Detach
This function is a tool to help a reorganization of BackPak domains, to help changing the
distribution of virtual volumes in different domains. It is most often used to complete
the move of a Data Store from a domain to another, by removing the source.
The ‘Catalog Detach’ will just remove the virtual volumes of a specified Data Store from
the catalog of the current BackPak Domain.
The images of virtual volumes in the storage and the possible corresponding entries in
DSM/TC & TMF catalogs are not deleted or altered in any way.
Considering only the BackPak catalog (not considering the volumes in storage and
DSM/TC), the complete scenario of moving a Data Store from a BackPak Domain to
another domain consists in:
1. The volumes entries are first replicated into a SECONDARY Data Store of the new
domain by the Catalog Sync Option. Or they are registered in the new domain
manually by creating series of consecutives labels into a RESTRICTED Data Store.
