If you are looking for the Jaguar drives to completely take over the workload for offsite, you will need to make sure that all appropriate backup stgpool commands that are run via TSM schedule/script or by some external mechanism are updated to backup to the new copypool(s).
I believe that you will also need to define a new devclass for the 3592 drives (and potentially a new library - I'm a bit fuzzy on the details of how a mixed 3590/3592 library actually works)

We are installin 10 new IBM 3592 tape drives, to be used primarily as offsite storage units. I am wondering about the best way to incorporate these into the system. My thinking was:
Create new Copypool Backup the Disk Pool to the New Copypool Shrink the Old Copypool by Ettrition (sp?) Eventually Copy the Old Copypool Tapes to the New Copypool
Am I missing anything? Is there a better way to do it? Thanks for any information.
