Hi, All

my management are planning to replace our STK 9710 libraries with STK
L180's. at the same time we will be going from DLT7000 to SDLT media.
I'm trying to get my head around the best way to handle the migration.
the 9710's have 406 slots each and are nearly full. the L180's will have
fewer slots, something like 170 each, I think. I'll need to keep the
DLT7000 media around, somewhere, somehow, until the savesets on them
eventually expire. what's the best, easiest, safest way to handle this?
can I (should I) hook up both libraries to the Networker server in
parallel? if so, how do I stop Networker from writing more data onto the
DLT7000's? what other choices do I have that I may not have thought of?
if it makes a difference, I'm running Networker 6.1.3 on AIX 4.3.3.
TIA
