Hello, I don't understand...why would I want to check the tapes in as scratch if they already have data on them...why wouldn't I just physcially move them and then run an audit library. At first you say to checkin my data tapes as scratch, but then you say that private tapes cannot be checked in as scratch????

But you will have to do a checkin libv stat=scratch before doing checkin libv stat=priv. ITSM will let you checkin empty volumes as private, but will not accept private tapes being checked in as scratch.

We are currently looking at putting our process for this change together and have found we have a few questions. We thought we could delete the path to the drives, path to the library, the drives and then the library. We would then connect the new library and physically move the DLT'4 tapes over to the new library and redefine everything. We are now concerned that if we delete the library will the database no longer know of the tapes? Would anyone have any suggestions or see any problems with this plan?
