Hi

Well we thought this would work.......

We used to have a VSM 3.2 system which included an optical juke box and
a DLT robot. Consolidating across from the former to the latter worked
no problem.

We recently purchase a spiffy new SUPERDLT robot. What I *hoped* I could

do was consolidate from a DLT7000 robot to the SUPERDLT robot. I was
able to migrate new files to the SUPERDLT......but not consolidate files

already migrated to the DLT7000. Consolidate just says it can't find the

volumes.

<Drat !>

My theory is that when files are intially migrated they are stored as
granules of a density tailed to the robot its using. When consolidating
from dlt to dlt it looks for volumes that use that granule size.

Does anybody have knowledge of this ?

If I'm right we'll have to migrate all out *new* stuff to the new robot.

All the old files will have to be cached back in and remigrated.

Terry
