It is a good question but was answered less than 10 days before you asked it again. Look at list archives and follow the thread "Moving Copypool to a new tape library" started June 25-th. Deon George already provided a very good answer.

As I see it I need to make a second decive class for my new library, and then I can't reuse my tapes because they belong to another device class (device class name, the device type is the same). I use 1 TSM Server 5.1.6.2 with 3584 LTO1 drives and i'm getting another 3584 with LTO1 drives (FC). Regards, Simon
