It is a good question but was answered less than 10 days before you asked
it again. Look at list archives and follow the thread "Moving Copypool to
a new tape library" started June 25-th. Deon George already provided a
very good answer.

        Subject:        Reuse Copypool tapes in a 2nd offsite DR library


Hi,

Is there a way to use my existing copypool tapes in a 2nd library, so I
won't have to start all over again with a 'full' backup stg, which will
take weeks to complete?

As I see it I need to make a second decive class for my new library, and
then I can't reuse my tapes because they belong to another device class
(device class name, the device type is the same).

I use 1 TSM Server 5.1.6.2 with 3584 LTO1 drives and i'm getting another
3584 with LTO1 drives (FC).

Regards,
Simon
