Creating the "new" copypool on the LTO4 tapes is going to be a big hit at the
beginning.
Another thing I would do is to rename your existing LTO1/2 stgpools to
something else, and then when you create the new LTO4 stgpool
call them the same names. That way you don't have to change any of your scripts
and procedures.

That's correct, one of the real nice things about TSM.
This is basically the same as migrating from any kind of disk pool to any kind
of tape pool, doesn't matter the media
type/technology.
You do need to remember though that after you have migrated ALL of your onsite
tape pool and it's offsite copies have been made,
then you need to "delete volume" with discarddata option on the OLD offsite
pool tapes, or else old tapes will still be there.

That sounds great! So to confirm, there are no technical gotchas that are going
to prevent data movement from one media type
(LTO1/2) ton another (LTO3/4)? Anyone else done this?
Thanks, Bill!

Just define up your new tape drives/devc/stgpools and then set the NEXTPOOL= on
your LTO1/LTO2 stgpool(s) to the new LTO3 or LTO4
stgpools. Now just MIGRATE STGPOOL the LTO1/2 over to the LTO4 pool. No need to
do individual MOVE DATA/NODEDATA. Just let migration
handle it all for you. Cancel it and restart it as you need.

Is it possible to run 'move data' or 'move nodedata' commands from either
LTO1 or LTO2 device class to LTO4? What about from LTO1/2 to LTO3? Has anyone
done this?
God bless you!!!
