I would use the suggestion of redirecting the destination of your storage pools to the new devclass for 3592s.
Another option is to create the new pools as orvile sugested, directing all new data there. Also, at this point change the reclaim stgpool for your old 9840 pools to the new pool. Now as tapes are reclaimed from 9840, the data automatically moves to the 3592 tapes. Also, as you wish to move more data, just change the reclamation threshhold to move more data. I did this when moving from 3480 to 3590 tapes, and it worked great. Hope this helps. Gary Lee Senior Operating Systems Analyst Ball State University phone 765-285-1310
