Re: [Veritas-bu] Migrating media: Undocumented Gotcha's??

Hi Phil,

I would install the new drives and then clone the old tapes using the
cloning facility within vaulting. I have found this works well and
keeps the catalog updated correctly.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Migrating media: Undocumented Gotcha's??

We are getting a brand new Tape Library with LTO-3 drives.  Old system
is an STK silo with 9840's.  We have some media with 7 year retention
requirements that we want to migrate to the new media so we don't have
to maintain both systems.

Has anyone else done similar?  Did it go as well as the documentation
indicates?  Anything we should pay special attention too?
