actually I just did a migration from 4 3590B to 6 3590E

You do not have to change access on all tapepool tapes to read-only, only the 
ones with the status of FILLING although doing it to the entire pool will not 
cause any problems. you will however have to move the data from the filling 
volumes to new volumes using the move data command as TSM does not reclaim 
space from tapes in the primary sequential pool in the filling mode. 

I checked out all the scratch and then checked them back in just to be safe.

Hi again all

TSM 5.1.6.2 on Solaris 2.7

Tomorrow we are having our B1A drives upgraded to H1A (housed in a 3494
library). Once this has been done, I understand that I will need to mark
all TAPEPOOL volumes as readonly (see prev post), but can I assume that I
need to relable all the scratch tapes that are in the lib at present, so
that they use the new formatting?

Many thanks again

All the best
