I am looking at the possibility of converting from two TSM servers accessing a shared library (as separate drives and separate control paths) 3584 to be exact to a TSM server as library manager and a TSM server accessing the library as a shared library.
Are there any steps I can take to effectively check the tapes out logical partition, and into the library manager, without going through any type of data migration? I have not had time to test this, and I have to discuss pro's and cons's of a possible strategy, and so far I've been told that the way to do it is to defined a 'second' library as the shared library, and 'move' or 'migrate' all my data into storage pools on the new library. this will take a seriously long time and I'd rather there was a more direct route. Any idea's? David le Blanc
