Just configure the ADSM server to use both Libraries, setup new tape storage
pools for the new library, make sure all new data is going to the new tapes
(either rename tape storage pools or change the next storage pool for the
DISK backup pools).   Now either use move data or set the original tape
storage pool's next storage pool as the new tape storage pool and update hi
and low migration percent to start the migration.

For faster the just use move data TAPE stg=NEWTAPEPOOL for each tape the
data needs to be moved for.

        Subject:        Re: How to make this work ? (One more addition)

        Let me see if I can remember this off the top of my head.

        1) checkout all tapes from old library
        2) delete library definitions
        3) delete drive definitions
        4) define new drive and new library
        5) check tapes into new library

        N.B.  you are NOT deleting the tapes or the data just checking out.

        No need to RTFM ( read the fine manual.)  Just go online and do:

         Help Query DRIVE    or      Help Query Library
         and at the end of it you will see:
