The Reality of Virtual Tape Migration - Practices and Pitfalls

Upgrading or installing a new virtual tape system necessarily involves migrating existing tape volumes and datasets to the new hardware. Depending on certain factors, migrations can be completed with built-in functions of the hardware or may require specialized vendor software along with serious planning. In this session, we'll step through a typical migration and discuss migration strategies, programs, and processes that can be used for migration. We'll talk about issues such as proprietary data formats, metadata repositories, and whether to retain existing tape volsers.
