Just a remark for the licensing:
If you stay in the same datazone (one backupserver for all your storagenodes), you don´t need to transfer tape library licenses between storagenodes. The licenses are always bound to the backupserver, regardless whether you control the library from a different storagenode.
Just need to make sure the slot number matches the license.

Subject: [Networker] jukebox transfer to another storage node

Its simple...
i just want a procedure of the steps i should do when transferring one jukebox
( i.e. HP library MSL 5000) from one storage node A to another storage node B
which is far away from here. In this storage node B i have already a single
tape drive which i want to scrap off.

Make sure you transfer your tape library license from storage node A to B
unless you purchased a new license for B. Verify that the drivers for the
tape devices are compatible with the library on B, then once you connect the
library and its devices, use jbconfig to configure it and it should be fine.
