Hi Alex:
I probably would not try the migration method because of the massive amount of data in
the existing storage pools, although it would be a simpler procedure.
The copypools will remain the same, defined in the existing tape library.
Thanks,
Larry

Larry,
Instead of "move data" to move data from old stgpools into the new stgpools,
it might be easier for you to set the old stgpools to
"nextstgpool=newstgpool", then set your migration levels to 0.
For copypools, since they don't have nextstgpool, instead of doing "move
data", you can just back up the newly populated primary pool to the new
backup pool.
Hopefully these ideas will save you some typing.

Subject: Moving storage pools
Hi:
We will finally be adding our 2nd tape library and intend to move the
existing primary storage pools to this new device. Rather than tinker with a
number of scripts I thought the simplist way to do this would be:
-stop current processes
- rename current storage pool to new names
- define new storage pools in new tape library with previous existing names
- restart scheduled processes
- do move data to move files from old storage pool to new storage pools
- delete old storage pool definitions when moves are complete
Does anyone see a problem with this senario?
