Hi all 

 

My favorite forum is required once again for its invaluable knowledge.

I am upgrading my tape library (3583) to a TS3200.

Runs on Linux (small satellite site) SUSE 4 on an IBM xServer i686. TSM
5.5

I have a 2 port FC HBA card in it.

 

I really want confirmation on the best method to switch over to the new
library.

 

Should I perform the following?

 

1.       Halt TSM

2.       Connect New Library

3.       Confirm Connection to OS

4.       Create new device class to new library

5.       Start TSM

6.       Configure new paths to drives and library

7.       delete old library and its paths

8.       checkin all tapes from old library as private

 

I remember somewhere there is a problem linking the copy pool tapes to
the new library.

 

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
