Tape unit replaced

Post by Elefanten »

Hello

We have replaced our Tape unit an IBM Ultrium HH5 as the old one was quite old and problematic with a new one that is the same model.
After a server restart we see the new one has been detected in Libraries and we have the old one appearing as "Offline Tapes"

How can I transfer Media Pools from the old tape setup to the new ?
Or is it possible to just connect the new one to my current system ?

Currently, you will have to re-create media pools on a new device, and re-inventory tapes, if needed.

However, chances are, version 9 will be able to boast with more intelligent solution for that problem.

Thanks.

You're welcome. Should other help be needed, let us know.

And stay tuned for the upcoming tape enhancements that version 9 will bring.

Thanks.
