We are buying some 3592-E06 drives to replace the 3592-E05 drives in our 3584 
tape libraries. The goal is to store more TB on the cartridges we already have. 
The 3592-E06 drives can read the E05 format, but they will write in E05 format 
too unless the tapes are re-formatted in the E06 format. So, we are wondering 
how best to migrate the E05 formatted tapes to the E06 format.

When we add the E06 drives we will remove the E05 drives.

Is this just a matter of; 1) reclaim the E05 tapes, 2) checkout the scratch 
tapes returned from reclamation, 3) 'label libv overwrite=yes' the just 
checked-out tapes.  

Or, is there a simpler, more efficient way to do this? Would new storage pools 
help in the transition?  

With my thanks,
