Two simple steps:
1. create manual library and (the only :) drive for the standalone drive
2. update device class to point to new library - UPD DEV <dds3-class>
LIBR=<man_lib>
Steps are very well described in the TSM docs.
If you have problems with these post again to the list.

Subject:        Changing tape drives

Hello,

does anybody have a short howto on configuring drives/tapes/libraries?
I had a DDS3 tape Library with 6 tapes which is currently under repair and
i
now have to restore data from a normal DDS3 tape which i kept as a backup
;-) drive.
I messed around for some time but can not get it to work. Does anybody
have
a quick list with steps to do to deconfigure and configure drives?
Kind regards
O. Oexmann
P.S.: I have to do this an a windows machine......
