Forgot to mention, in a true tape technology migration, use "nextstg" to migrate a stgpool of data from one to another technology -- plus approp. controls on the "old" library so no new data gets created there... all is okay, data xfer done during off-peak usage times, start/stop migration as desired (including number of processes/drives running concurrently).
This is not related to your specific scenario, but is applicable to many others.

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.
