Hi Juan, in this env we are a little bit different We don't want to deactivate the old library (the library it self is not old, it has the same config as the new lib, LTO3 FC, 44 sltos)
What I want to do is like this: Today I have a pool: SP-FILESYSTEM-LTO -> LTOCLASS1 -> LTOLIB1 In this pool I have 100 tapes off library With new library: SP-FILESYSTEM-LTO-NEW -> LTOCLASSNEW -> LTOLIBNEW And pass this tapes that are off to this lib, without deactivating de LTOLIB1 Atenciosamente, Vinicius do Valle Fraga Engenheiro de Sistemas VANguard - Value Added Network guardians http://www.vanguard-it.com.br Fone: 55 11 5103-0941 -----Mensagem original----- De: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Em nome de Juan Perla Enviada em: Tuesday, October 09, 2007 11:40 AM Para: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Assunto: Re: [ADSM-L] RES: [ADSM-L] Volumes off library 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.
