Or create a new pool and move data from the old volumes to the new pool.
Change the copy groups and whatever else to point at the new pool and be
done. Delete the old pool. In the later versions of TSM you can even
change the name of an existing pool.

Subject: Re: change devclass
I don't know of any way to change the devclass. (If you find out, please
let me know.) I had that happen once when someone upgraded the Windows
version on the server machine, then upgraded TSM, and it recognized the
drivers as something different. Someone else reported a similar problem on
this list a few weeks ago, I never saw the resolution.
But if you can't fix the problem, and there are only 2 clients, I bet you
could (1) export the clients, and their data. The export will go to any
devclass you specify. (2) rename the existing clients to something else
(3) import them again. If you are happy with the results, delete the
renamed clients and all their data, and the two clients will be back they
belong.

Subject: change devclass
Hello,
I have the need to change the devclass of a stgpool.
Somehow (I checked the actlog and can't see how) I changed the devclass on a
stgpool from a DLT-type devclass to a generictape class. There are only 2
volumes in the stgpool, and the clients don't exist anymore. The request
came to restore some of the files and the tapes will no longer mount.
Is there a way to change/update the devclass on an existing stgpool without
deleting the volumes/stgpool? The only thing left in this server is the
stgpool and 2 volumes(~27GB) so I can play with the DB all I want.
