Why not just update the library definition? Remove all the tapes from Lib-1, insert them in Lib-2; audit lib on Lib-1 after removing all tapes, change the Lib def to Lib-2, make the physical connections, dev-class uses same lib, all is copasetic (zero data movement, since drive type/format is the same, you're doing the equivalent to Unix "mv" process.)

I would like to know the best way to move operations to a newer silo on the same TSM server. The tape media for the current silo and the replacement silo is to be the same format. It would be nice if clients could be moved over the new silo incrementally i.e., both libraries operational at the same. Move data, checkout checkin, export import? I've searched through the docs on this and have yet to find much help. Advice and suggestions greatly appreciated.
