No, I have a different devclass and stgpool for the new LM/server so that
shouldn't be a problem.  I have long since moved migration/reclaim
processing to use the new stgpool/LM

So, I should be able to:
1.  checkout all tapes from the existing library
2.  change the devclass library to point to the new library/manager
3.  checkin the tapes just checked out to the new library/manager

and everything should be golden - right?

You can move from one library to other changing the library name parameter
under
the device class. The problem is if you have only a device class for all
stgpool. In this case, I think you will need to move the data via
migration or
sth like that.

Asunto: Moving tape volumes from one library/client stgpool to another

Now that I have a 6.2.2 server acting as a library manager, I need to move
all the tapes from the previous library manager server to this new one.

So far I have been doing move data's but that is taking too long.

I swear I read somewhere of a way to move volumes to a different
library/stgpool without having to move the data but now I can't find that
info (it's Monday.....)

Anyone else do this the quick/easy way?
