We've a very similar setup -- an STK 9710 with 6 drives on site, and 6 stand-alone DLT drives at the D/R site. In our case, we re-define (well . . . delete and define) the library as a manual library, and just watch the console messages for mount/dismount messages. If I remember the 3590 correctly, you'll be going from a multi-drive library to a single-drive library with the 10-cart autoloader.

The re-definition needs to be done twice. You'll have to update (or build from scratch) a device configuration file, which gets used while you restore the ADSM database. Then you need to start ADSM and go change the definitions you just restored.

Hope this helps --

I have a 3494 Tape Library and use ADSM to backup clients. In case
of a disaster, I will only have a single 3590 standalone tape drive to
recover files from. Has anyone recovered files from a 3590 tape originally
defined as part of a 3494 Tape Library using a standalone 3590 tape
drive? I do not have a standalone 3590 tape drive to test with so I
am in the dark as to weather or not this will work. I do not want to fly
from Winston-Salem N.C. to Comdisco in Chicago to find out.
