So, I may not be very clear on this question. Fred is in the Sandbox and there are 3 plexes in that environment. Dev/Sandbox, and DR.
DR is only active when we test. Dev and Sandbox share Fred. So the definitions are the same. Production has Bob and Bob is being replicated to FRED. So the areas that I see need to be actioned are 1) HCD 2) SMS Config for Tape library 3) SMS Acs constructs for tape library. I am thinking that even if I add the FRED Library to Production, I still need the ACS routines to use the correct names when there are in DR in the Sandbox CEC. This would be due to the use of specific names rather than generic names that could be anywhere.
