I don't recall how your library was attached, or even what it was; but there's no reason not to hook up several servers of divergent architectures to one library. If it's a SAN library, it may be nearly trivial. And then you could do _just_ that: get both servers using the same set of drives, and gradually move load from one to the other, as your copy behavior progresses. - Allen S. Rout
