Replacing a library

When a library fails, or when the library robotics card must be changed, the replacement will have
a different serial number from the original. To assign it the same pools, mapping, etc. as the original:
NOTE:
While the virtual tapes are in the firesafe, scheduled backups for those tapes will not occur.
1. Make a note of all pool configuration information for pools associated with the library to be
replaced.
2. Delete all pools associated with the library (see
NOTE:
Deleting the pools automatically moves all virtual cartridges from within the pool to the
firesafe.
3. Unmanage the physical library to be replaced (see
Library).
4. Replace the library or robotics card.
5. Manage the new physical library (see
6. Manually recreate the storage pools associated with the new library using the information written
down at the beginning of this procedure.
The virtual tapes that were moved into the firesafe will automatically return to their previous
locations.
