Hi

We are in the process of moving our ADSM server from one OS/390 system to
another. The way we have our (RMM) tape libraries defined is that the tape
ranges are unique to each LPAR. Therefore, after the move (which will
include the copying over of the ADSM databases) we will be able to read the
old tapes on the new system, but cannot write to them.
Because we want to transfer all ADSM data to the new range (so it is known
to the ADSM servers RMM system) and remove it from the previous system (so
the carts  can be re-used)

Do any of you guys know of a way we can "merge" the data from tape(s) aa****
directly to tapes bb**** (the default scratch range on the new system)
without stageing the data on dasd inbetween ??  (any of you familiar with
SAMS:disk may appreciate the type of process i am talking about)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
