Thanks for the great comments... Now... I have what is probably a really
silly question, but will doing either of these processes actually cause
data to be physically moved, or is it logically just re-labeled with the
new information? I guess what I'm really wondering is whether or not this
will tie up my 3494 for days on end, moving around nearly 5 TB of data
over 380ish tapes... I'd love to hear that this will require little or no
tape mounts!
Thanks again for your help!!

// Hi all...
//
// Is it possible to rename user-defined (ie not built-in) device

// If so, what is the procedure?
//
// I have a device class defined for my 3494 library... and.. believe
// it or

// keep things like q stgp from line-wrapping. Thoughts?
//
// TIA!
