Tony, I cannot comment on the considerations of doing this with CA-1. For RMM, although we track library residency very closely, if a volume is used inside a library with a name that is different from what rmm already has recorded it is allowed.
To update the library name for private volumes, you would use IDCAMS ALTER Vvolser VOLENT LIBRARYNAME(name). To change the library type you would use IDCAMS with ALTER LIBENT and LOGICALTYPE(MANUAL). You might also need LIBID. You can do this via ISMF but I believe it just does the same ALTER you can do with IDCAMS. I know many people who have simply used stand-alone drives in DR without MTL. That situation is covered in the OAM PISA for Tape - your ACS routines have to not make new tape data system managed. My thoughts are based on knowledge not on practice - so be sure to allow time to test your approach.
