Kelly,
I forget one last important thing. You will have to create a new library
containing the devclass and the new pools. If you have similar device
class(devices) in a library TSM will not detect which device class has
to use. This not happen when media is very different for example STK9840
and LTO1,2,3 or 4.
Update copygroups with new pools.
Then like I said on my previous mail set the nextstgpool parameter of
the old stgpools with the name of the new ones.
Then you should choose to wait to expire old data and maintain old
configuration, or accelerate the process with planned migrations or move
datas.
Hope this helps !!
Regards,
Ibán.

We were using the IBM driver but the generictape in TSM. Yes, they are IBM LTO4 drives.

Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Moving from Generictape device class to LTO device class
Are they LTO drives from IBM ¿?
Were you using the generic device driver of the OS or were you using the IBM
device driver ¿?
Depending on how it was configured we can try one way or another ...
Let me know !!

Folks,
About five months ago, I created a device class of generictape to use
LTO4 drives in a new STORServer I built. Now, with the newest version
of TSM, LTO4 is supported and the library knows about them and
generictape won't work anymore (wrong kind of mountpoint in the
library).
Anybody have a clever way of getting my generic tape volumes into my
new LTO storage pool?
