Otto, - You should be able to just update the libvol owner on the library manager to the new server. - You may also consider using server-server export which transfers data through the ethernet from the source to target server. This process allows for concurrent export/import and reduces the chance of mixing up the sequence of export tape volumes. To do this you need to set up server-server communications betweeen the source and target servers. See the help page for export node "EXPORT NODE -- Directly to Another Server" for the export syntax.

Is this the normal behavior ? Is the only way to get the volumes back to scratch an AUDIT LIBRARY on the library clients ? Is this the recommended way to do that ? Where is the recommended way documented ? TIA ! Otto _________________________________ TSM Administration Medical University Vienna Austria IMPORTANT: E-mail sent through the Internet is not secure.
