Folks,

We got a batch of B tapes that we're using with C drives.  Not good, but
stuff happens.  So, we're going to move from B to C.

1. Does anything need to change in the drive firmware to use the C tapes?
My thought is no, that I should just be able to put these C tapes in and
magic will happen and everything will be hundydory.

B. My thought to perform the migration is to mark the existing B volumes as
read only, label and checkin the C tapes, move data from the B volumes to
the diskpool and let migration take the data to the C tapes in the scratch
pool.  I thought about setting up another pool with another device class and
simply doing a migration, but I'm space constrained in the library anyway so
a manual process is in my future wether I like it or not.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
