We have two domains. Its a carryover artifact from when we had
a 3466 with one DLT-7337 and we upgraded to two DLT robots.
Now with our 3494 both domains point to one copypool, tapepool, diskpool.
I merged everything during the conversion except the domains.
Don't remember it being much of a problem to get done.
