Of course it can't be quite that simple. "move media" doesn't like to work with tapes in Pending status. I guess that makes sense, the original reason for "move media" is to hold mountable tapes outside the library, and pending tapes aren't really mountable. I guess I will just check them out, then check them back in....

The ATL control is lan attached. They want to move my tape drives and all my tapes to a new ATL. As best I can tell if I just edit /etc/ibmatl.conf to use the new IP address AIX and TSM should think nothing has changed since the drives are physically moving too. To move the tapes I think I need to "move media" the volumes to offsite. With the "remove=yes" option it should eject the tapes. Then I check them in again to the new library. Is there anything else I need to do? Thanks, Kai.
