[Networker] Migrate different server and tape technology

I'm going to migrate to a new server and have questions about how to goabout it. They are both Solaris systems - the old server is runningversion 6.1.2 of networker with a 8 slot DLT autochanger on it. I'll beinstalling networker 7.2 on the new server and it has a 17 slot LTO 2drive. I have several months of backups on the old DLT's that I wouldlike to save so I'm not sure how to do the migration. I only have alicense for 9 slot autochanger so if I move the old DLT autochanger tothe new server in addition to the LTO autochanger I'm not sure how I canaccess the old tapes to do recoveries. Is there a way to do this ordoes it require a new license? I'd rather not buy a 2nd autochangerlicense for the few months that I need access to the old tapes so notsure if there is some other way to do this. I don't know if thenetworker license would let me access the DLT drive as just a DLT and Icould manually work the autochanger to select tapes since this doesn'thappen often. Also looking through the manual I don't see info on howto migrate the old indexes over to the new machine - can I just copyover the old nsr directory tree and install as if I were doing anupgrade? Will I have a problem with this since the tape drive is nowthe new LTO autochanger? Any hints would be appreciated (or pointers tothe proper section of the manuals).
