Re: New 3494 library

     if the new library is on the same server, just use move data

     Once data makes it into the adsm server you can move it around any
     where you like and adsm will keep track of it.  That is if you have
     different storage pools that are the default destinations for
     different management classes you may move data from one storage pool
     to the other without having any impacting the data in any way. (unless
     you do something like automatically move data in one storage pool out
     of a library automatically)

     So if on the same adsm just adjust your management classes to use the
     new 3494 and do move data's from the old 3494 to the new 3494... or
     just wait for the data to expire in the old one.  Even if you alter
     the destination of the management classes the server still knows where
     all the existing data is and if a restore is requested that would come
     off the old 3490e's it will go there to get it... if it is in the new
     3494 on 3590's it will go there to get it.

     Hope this helps...
     later,
         Dwight

Hello ADSM'ers,

Current configuration : ADSM/VM server V2, 3494 library with 400 3490E
cartridges dedicated to ADSM, all nodes in collocation.

We've bought a new 3494 library with 3590 carts.
We would like to migrate all the "old" 3490 tapes to the new 3590, w/o
having to backup again all the nodes.
Some clients will be collocated, some not (due to the large capacity of the
3590)
What is the best method to achieve this goal ?
