Let me see if I can remember this off the top of my head.

1) checkout all tapes from old library
2) delete library definitions
3) delete drive definitions
4) define new drive and new library
5) check tapes into new library

N.B.  you are NOT deleting the tapes or the data just checking out.

No need to RTFM ( read the fine manual.)  Just go online and do:

 Help Query DRIVE    or      Help Query Library
 and at the end of it you will see:
