Using everyones suggestions as well as a procedure we found out on the web ( http://tsmexpert.blogspot.com/2006/03/how-to-setup-library-manager-instance.html ), we were able to perform a test migration to a library manager instance in our test environment. It went very well. I only had one problem . . . there was no mention of creating a device class on the new library manager instance - so I didn't. This caused very nasty ANR9999 messages on the library manager client when the new library manager couldn't perform mounts. Defining a device class on the new library manager quickly solved this. I tried to be a good tsm admin . . . . I tried to use ISC to do most of the work. What a frustrating tool . . . . I both liked a lot it did, and, left me pulling what little hair I still have atop my head out. I allowed it to use it's defaults for defining the library, paths and drives. I need to crawl back through these definitions to see if the defaults are what I really should have.
