The good news is that once your new allocations are pointed to the new VTS, you can use the HSM recycle to move the data from your 'old' ML2 & HSM backup tapes to the new VTS. Your comment about other 'random' data concerns me a little. It reminded me that someone should caution you about prod

I am at SHARE right now, so I don't have this in front of me, so I may be a bit off (if so, someone should be able to correct me), but you should not have to change your ACS routines at all. All you need to do is remove the old VTS from your STORGRP and add the new VTS. All new allocations wil

Many thanks for all the replies, they've been very helpful. I'll admit I'm pretty rusty in this area but got roped in to doing it as I've done similar (but not this type of migration) in the past so forgive my seemingly 'dumb' questions.

How are your naming standards? Is your current library controlled though SMS? You can control all your new tape allocations through your SMS routines and don't have to worry about or change your esoterics at all. You may want to have your new tape addresses added to your esoterics. I didn

You got me on the push-pull bit :-) That is pretty much what I plan to do by giving the new VTS a different range of addresses but I need to migrate all the existing data over (HSM, etc.) so I would have problems with UNIT=TAPE as I would not be able to determine into which VTS the data is being
