If replacement HW is truly the same stuff, just ensure microcode (in library *and* the drives) is up to date; after you re-run cfgmgr, you just re-do the TSM DEFines for LIBRary and DRives.
BTW, checkin will skip volumes with data if you specify scratch (assuming your TSM db is intact -- volhist is a good reference source). When we have a mix of scratch and private, loaded en masse, we just run the checkin for scratch first, then checkin the rest as private --- barcode and search=yes runs the two passes very fast!@!
