HI there,i have little question and look for some help.
Currently i have two win2003 server with 2 qualstar 412360 library and 2x 1tb raid.
In consideration of fact that the library needs a lot of maintenance, because every 2 weeks drives are polling or tapes are damaged or something else,ands in fact of performance reasons, i want to store data on a huge raid with jbods or better: my company wants to replace the library with a huge raid.
How can i realize it????
My thought is:
-creating a new diskpool with the same preferences like the ait2-pool.
-creating diskvolumes in the same amount and with the same capacity.
-after it i would set the old ait2-storage pool to read-only and i would move all data from ait2 tapes to the new diskpool.
-After moving all data from tapes, i would edit devices and remove the path, drives and the library.
Is this the right way, is anybody out there with experience in this special case??
Thanks for help or hints
Regards S.N.
