Hey, We just did something similar. we started with 1 old acsls library (library=lsm2 and acsid=1) 4 tapedrives and 300 cartridges
we ended with 1 new acsls library (libray=lsm2 acsid=2) 4 tapedrives and 300 cartridges. 1)created the 4 new tape drives in the lsm2 library that were physically located in the new library (silo acsid=2) 2)disabled the 4 old tape drives in the old silo (acsid=1) 3)updated the old lsm2 library to have acsid=2 4)enabled the 4 new tape drives 5)then we physically ejected from the old library and entered into the new library. all worked fine.
