Need help urgently with consolidating Library-Managers

[obiwan2]

Hi,

we want to change our environment....

ONE new Library-Manager should handle the communiction with the physical library. This is done at this time by two Library-Managers (one for Public, one for DMZ) with two logical partitions in the physical library.
OLD Situation:
TSM1 and TSM2 are in the public sector, TSM3 and TSM are in the DMZ. TSM1 and TSM3 are library-managers.

NEW situation (maybe someone can tell me if these steps are the right ones):
- changing the library-definition of TSM3 to shared library
- removing the tapes from the DMZ-partition of the phys. library
- deleting the DMZ-partition in the phys. library
- expanding the public-partition in the phys. library
- checking-in the removed tapes from the DMZ-partition into the public-partition
- running a library-inventore of the phys. library
- running an "audit library" with the "one-and-only" library-manager TSM1

So far, so right ?
Thanks for any comment...

looks good.
Backup and save volhist and devconfig before you go ahead.
do a select voluen_name,owner from libvolumes. Use the information during checkin in the public library. (Do not worry, the volumes will be returned to scratch once they are reclaimed)

when checking out the volumes use a file as in pput to the checkout command,

/good luck

Ummmm....after a few days of thinking it seems not to be so simple....

TSMLM1 is the NEW library-manager
TSM1 and TSM3 are the OLD library-managers of the library named PLIB1H
TSM2 and TSM4 are the library-clients

Now:
TSMLM1: define library PLIB1H libt=scsi shared=yes
TSMLM1: define path TSMLM1 PLIB1H srct=server destt=library dev=/dev/rmt/_____lb
TSMLM1: define devclass DCP1H libr=PLIB1H devtype=lto format=ultrium6c mountr=1 mountw=5
TSMLM1: define drive PLIB1H PDRV1 ........
TSMLM1: define drive PLIB1H PDRV2 ........ and so on......

TSM1 and TSM3: delete library PLIB1H (as TSM1 was the OLD Library-manager and the type can't be changed to "shared")
TSM1 and TSM3: define library PLIB1H libt=shared prim=tsmlm1

All old TSM-Servers are now Library-Clients and get the reference TSMLM1 as the Library-manager !
TSM1, TSM2, TSM3, TSM4: change the value "Primary Library Manager" in the deviceclass DCP1H to TSMLM1 (it's easy by using the TSMManager software from McLicense). Nothing more needs to be changed.

Now comes the rest....

- deleting the DMZ-partition in the phys. library
- expanding the public-partition in the phys. library
- running a library-inventory of the phys. library
- running an "audit library" on all TSM-Servers TSM1, TSM2, TSM3 and TSM4

And all things should the work again as before !?
Have I forgotten something ???

Thanks for any help/hint !!

Still a question:

When moving the library-manager from a system to an other system, what has to be done with the tapes from outside the physical library (destination=VAULT) ? Do they then get the type=remote ?
