I went through this about a year ago.  The only way I know to get the
inventory of tapes moved out of tsm2t and into tsmlm2 correctly is to:

1) check the tapes out of tsm2t
2) delete the library (and drives and paths) from tsm2t
3) define the library (and drives and paths) in tsmlm2, and as a shared
library in tsm2t
4) check the tapes in to tsmlm2.

Steps 1 & 4 need to be done in two parts - one for the scratch tapes,
and another for the private tapes.  You can build your list of scratch
tapes with something like:

  select volume_name from libvolumes where status='Scratch'

(If you've got more than one library, then you'll need to qualify the
above with an " 'and library_name='xxxx' ".)   The list of private tapes
would be built in a similar fashion:

  select volume_name from libvolumes where status='Private' and owner
='TSM2T'

The totals from these two should equal the number of tapes physically
present in the library.  The two lists can be edited to turn them into
'checkout libv' and 'checkin libv' commands for use in steps 1 and 4
above.

Of course, there are a lot of details I'm leaving out, but this was the
general method I used.

Hope this helps,
Bill

Does anyone have any suggestions on the steps to migrate from a
standalone TSM instance with a 3584, to a library manager instance
to control the library and the origional TSM instance as a library
manager client.

I found a redbook that I've started working through, but thought I'd
see if anyone had an overview of the steps involved.

Origional environment
      tsm server:    tsm2t with san attached 3584

New environment
      lib mgr server:    tsmlm2 serving as lib mgr for 3584
      tsm server:    tsm2t as lib mgr client sharing 3584

I think my big question is how to get the lib mgr tsm server to
understand
the volumes in the lib - what's scratch and what's in use by the
origional
tsm server (tsm2t).

Later, I'll add a third tsm server as a lib mgr client.  Right now I'm
just
figuring
out now to move the library control to a standalone instance.



Thanks

Rick
