In general...
data tapes will be associated with the device class within an atl
in other words you may checkout all libvols, delete all drives, & delete the
library and all is still well !
Then if you define a new library, define your drives back to that new
library, (update your deviceclass for the drives to reference the new
library) then do "checkin libvol" commands with status=private against all
allocated tape volumes you'll be good to go ;-) You will still be left at
getting a list of all unused tapes and checking them in as status=scratch
though.
AND all the used tapes will (should) go back to scratch status when they are
emptied (even though you just checked them in as private but had to 'cause
they had data on them)

in moving tsm environments around with 3494's I ended up changing the name
of my libraries and the scratch & private codes used within libraries and
basically did what I've mentioned above... every thing worked fine (but that
was all IBM equipment... S70 servers and 3494 ATLs)

Subject: STK9714 to STK9710 migration
Hi,
I'm in the process of upgrading my STK library. I currently have a STK9714
and I'm getting a STK9710. Will I be able to move the tapes from on library
to another? Or do I need to define another library, checkout the tapes from
the old STK9714 ( 100 tapes ) and check them in to the new library STK9714.
The libraries are very similar, the element numbers are the same! I know
I'll need to verify the scsi address of the drives and I can make them the
same. I should be able to cut over to the new library.
Are there any special configurations on the STK9710 like FAST LOAD, AUTO
CLEAN etc. That should be set, does any one know?
I'm running TSM 3.7.4 on AIX 4.3.3. With three scsi adapters. The old
STK9714 has 6 DLT tape drive with 100 cells and the new STK9710 has 10 DLT
tape drive with 300 cells.
I know I'll need to define in AIX and TSM the additional tape drives. But
I'm trying to see the easiest way to get the tapes over because I only have
ONE cap ( mailbox, in/out unit ). It would be very time consuming to
checkout/checkin the 100 tapes from one library to another.
Thank you,
Laura
