That sounds great! So to confirm, there are no technical gotchas that are
going to prevent data movement from one media type (LTO1/2) ton another
(LTO3/4)? Anyone else done this?

Thanks, Bill!

Just define up your new tape drives/devc/stgpools and then set the NEXTPOOL=
on your LTO1/LTO2 stgpool(s) to the new LTO3 or LTO4
stgpools. Now just MIGRATE STGPOOL the LTO1/2 over to the LTO4 pool. No need
to do individual MOVE DATA/NODEDATA. Just let migration
handle it all for you. Cancel it and restart it as you need.

Is it possible to run 'move data' or 'move nodedata' commands from either
LTO1 or LTO2 device class to LTO4? What about from LTO1/2 to LTO3? Has anyone
done this?



God bless you!!!
