Is the same true if you are going to move from one master to another,
but keep the same media servers?  In case this question doesn't make
sense, we are looking at splitting our environment to have a W2K master
and a UNIX master.  Currently, we only have the W2K master.

The volume is actually tied to the media server, not the library.  To
move a
volume and information about it from one media server to another
(including
changing the media server that will be used for future backups to the
tape if
it is still active and the media server used for future restores) use...

bpmedia -movedb -ev media_id -oldserver old_server -newserver new_server


If the old media server is already gone, you have to use bpimage
instead.  The
problem with this is that only the image catalog on the master is
updated.
The data about the volume that was on the old media server isn't moved
to the
new media server, so there will be issues with the volume not being
unassigned
properly (causing it not to be reused).

bpimage -id media_id -oldserver old_server -newserver new_server

We have moved one of our tape libraries to a
another media server.  This was done by creating
a new library on the other media server which
now has three libraries.  The library had 900+
tapes assigned to it before moving.

Now I need to restore a database from a couple
of the tapes that are assigned to the old library
definition.  How do I take these tapes and re-assign
them to the new library without losing the data
or having to import the tapes (as that takes
~8hrs per tape)?
