Using everyones suggestions as well as a procedure we found out
on the web (
http://tsmexpert.blogspot.com/2006/03/how-to-setup-library-manager-instance.html
),
we were able to perform a test migration to a library manager
instance in our test environment.  It went very well.

I only had one problem . . . there was no mention of creating a device
class
on the new library manager instance - so I didn't.  This caused very nasty
ANR9999 messages on the library manager client when the new library manager
couldn't
perform mounts.  Defining a device class on the new library manager quickly
solved this.

I tried to be a good tsm admin . . . . I tried to use ISC to do most of the
work.  What a
frustrating tool . . . . I both liked a lot it did, and, left me pulling
what little hair
I still have atop my head out.    I allowed it to use it's defaults for
defining the library,
paths and drives.  I need to crawl back through these definitions to see if
the
defaults are what I really should have.

Thanks

Rick
